Museum staff have dug into its art collection for a new exhibit.
Staff Picks! Art from the Timmins Museum's Collection is on display in the Grey Gallery at the Timmins Museum: National Exhibition Centre until Jan. 3.
Artists featured in the new exhibition include Yvonne McNeil, Evelyn Rymer, Bette Macauley, Ruth MacKinnon, Elsa Stortroen and Ed Spehar.
"The museum art collection has grown to include over 300 works acquired over 40 years of collecting," reads the news release.
"Back in 1980, former Timmins Museum director Lydia Ross Alexander recognized the need to collect works from Northeastern Ontario artists. She persuaded the City of Timmins to support this project, as many of the pieces acquired could be housed in public buildings. Parts of the collection today can be seen at City Hall, various offices within the corporation and at the Golden Manor."
The museum is located on Second Avenue. It's open Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free. COVID-19 restrictions are enforced.
It will be closed Dec. 25-28, and Jan. 1.
