The Canadian Museum of Making Tour
The Vintage Sports Car Club of Calgary has arranged for an exclusive, limited, member tour of The Canadian Museum of Making:
https://museumofmaking.org/
The tour is scheduled for the afternoon of Sunday June 8th , and will be led by Brent Clark and wife Anne. This is a joint event with the MG Car Club of Calgary
This is a limited entry event of only 12 persons per club, for a total of 24.
Unfortunately, only Club members and their spouses qualify to be able to make the tour. Registration will be on a first come, first served basis. Registration will automatically be closed at the 12 person limit for each Club.
The Museum has requested that we bring our vintage sports cars to the Museum. Depending on the level of interest, and those that don’t get a spot, we will try and set up other tours throughout the summer.
Tour attendees will meet at the Crowfoot Rona at 12:30pm.
We will depart for the museum at 12:45 sharp. The formal guided tour will be starting at 1:30pm. Expect that you will be at the museum for up to as much as 3 hours.
Some Museum Information:
1. The museum is not mobility device accessible as there are several sets of stairs so guests will unfortunately not be permitted in the upper museum due to safety concerns.
2. Photography is permitted.
3. These exhibits are not as appropriate for young children as there are quite a few sharp edges. Please ensure you are supervising children at all times.
4. If you wish to donate to the Museum to help cover expenses, cheques can be made out to ‘The Canadian Museum of Making’ or donations can be made from our website www.museumofmaking.org.
