Talk Adults

History Social invites you to be part of a daytime series that connects you with the people, stories, and behind-the-scenes work that bring the Museum to life.

Each session offers an engaging presentation, followed by an audience Q&A and relaxed social time over coffee and conversation. It’s an inviting way to explore new ideas, ask questions, and connect more deeply with the Museum in an informal setting.

We hope you can join us for History Social and be part of a warm, lively exchange that sparks curiosity and deepens your connection to the Museum.

History Social is a wellness series for older adults in the region developed by the Canadian War Museum in collaboration with The Royal.

Meet the Collections Specialists

Ever wondered how a museum decides what stories to preserve for future generations?

Meet the Canadian War Museum’s Collection Specialists — the people who collect, care for, protect and champion Canada’s military heritage. Join them for a behind-the-scenes look at the fascinating work that brings the Museum’s collection to life.

Discover how objects — from art and artillery to toys and tunics — become part of the national collection, and explore the challenges, discoveries and unexpected stories that come with preserving these treasures. Learn how collection specialists help ensure that Canada’s military history remains accessible, meaningful and relevant for generations to come.
