International Museum Day - May 18

Since 1977, ICOM, the International Council of Museums has organized International Museum Day to call attention to the importance of museums to the fabric of societies around the world.

Apparently the WDM once had an even longer name! In a May 12, 1949 article “Giants Bossed The Frontiers” by W.J. Bradley in The Western Producer, pictures are identified as having been taken at the Western Canadian Development Museum in North Battleford.

I love the WDM! - Katelynn, student from Kamsack, at the
