À propos

In celebration of culture days and our community's heritage, join the Maple Ridge Museum this fall at our first offsite exhibit! "The Bee's Knees" will be showcased at the ACT Arts Centre for 8 weeks, starting in mid September 2021. This exhibition will explore the changing social landscape of the 1920s through the lens of fashion. The roaring twenties often conjures images of beaded dresses, glamorous parties, and life in the big city... but what was it like in Maple Ridge during that time? Through the clothing, textiles, accessories, and photographs on display, you will learn about the social movements and scandalous trends that made this decade so captivating.
