Battles for justice. Dreams of glory. Fantasies of wealth and splendour. Draw back the curtain on the Canadian Museum of History’s captivating 2016–2017 season with this exclusive video preview. One-of-a-kind artifacts from priceless Canadian and international collections tell stories of struggles and dreams — from prospectors’ camps to protest marches; from hockey rinks to Parisian monuments. This video takes you behind the scenes of our stunning current and upcoming special exhibitions: Horse Power – The Paul Bienvenu Carriage Collection; Gold Rush! – El Dorado in British Columbia; Napoléon and Paris; “Nice Women Don’t Want the Vote” and Hockey in Canada — More Than Just a Game.

Special thanks to the Musée Carnavalet – Histoire de Paris and Paris Musées, Musées de la civilisation, Royal BC Museum, The Manitoba Museum and the outstanding team at the Canadian Museum of History for the making of this video.
