Exhibitions Organized
At the Bruce Museum, I work with our spectacular Department of Exhibitions to craft shows that explore the wonders of the natural world, tell stories about how scientists make discoveries, and explore the intersection between Art and Science. Click on the exhibition titles below to learn more.

Permanent Galleries Curated
From 2020 through 2023, the Bruce Museum underwent a major renovation and expansion. We re-installed our suite of permanent science galleries around the theme of natural cycles with galleries dedicated to Geology, Paleontology, the Ice Age, Marine Ecology, Terrestrial Ecology, and the “Big Back Yard.” We also added a new pace for our world class mineral collection.

Exhibitions Curated
One of the great things about working at the Bruce Museum is having the opportunity to work with contemporary artists, a rarity for curators at strictly natural history museums. On occasion, I also facilitate hosting of exhibitions organized by other institutions.
