BURLINGTON, ON
Little by little the transformed Joseph Brant Museum begins to take shape.
Scheduled to open in July of 2019 the replica of the original Brant house will sit on top of the museum and serve as office and administration space. The public will never get into that space unless they are there on some kind of business matter.
The lower level that is being built now will consist of three galleries.
The “new” Joseph Brant Museum will feature three new galleries. The Burlington Gallery will feature Joseph Brant, Thayendanegea, and will look at the development of Burlington from immigration and early industry to modern development. The Costume Gallery will evoke a “fashion show” experience. Costumes on the runway will contextualize social history focusing on the time of the famous Brant Inn and the big band era.
The Discovery Gallery will be a place dedicated to children where they can touch, play and learn.
Construction is on time and said to be on budget as well.
