Exhibitions
New! - Taking Care of Beesness - Opens March 1, 2010
There’s a new buzz at the Canada Agriculture Museum. Discover the essential role bees play in the pollination of many Canadian food crops such as blueberries and apples, as well as to the production of honey and many other by-products, while you explore the role and the tools of the beekeeper. Check out the Museum’s live hive arriving in May and try to find the queen among all the workers and drones.

Tractors
Also re-opening March 1, 2010, the exhibition Tractors allows visitors to follow the 100-year-old story of the tractor from unfamiliar oddity to commonplace tool on the Canadian farm.

Virtual Exhibition
