The Museum of Northern BC recently offered a program for school groups to learn about masks from many different cultures. Several classes from Conrad Elementary School, including Ms. Wendy Brooks’ grade three class of 23 students, enjoyed a fascinating afternoon at the museum. This included a tour of the masks in the museum collection and in the Ruth Harvey Art Gallery, and a visit to the Longhouse to view the Raven dance. Each student was able to make a mask of their own design as an art activity at the Artist Studio under the guidance of the wonderful museum staff. The children had a marvelous time, and got to experience a bus ride on the local public transportation system.
