Warriors Last Walk-Through
https://youtu.be/oETNXrvX2Ng
The Warriors Exhibit at Glenbow Museum has now closed, after 26 years. The space will be used for rotating exhibits after it's renovated, to show more of the collection that is usually unseen by visitors. A week before it closed, I was able to come in for a final walk-through and see the material I've been working with on display one last time before the renovations started.

Franklin Expedition - Long Lost Anvil Block Found
Behind the scenes with bestselling author and historian A. E. Chandler at the Glenbow Museum, where there are many artefacts from the Franklin Expedition. About a year ago, thanks to an exhibit put on by the Military Collection's technician, Travis Lutley, this piece of wood with a spearhead jammed in it was discovered to be the anvil block from the expedition, thought to have been lost forever. Whether it came from the Terror or the Erebus is uncertain, but other artefacts from the expedition and those that followed have been added onto it.
