Located in the historical hamlet of Mount Joy, Markham Museum celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2021. Today the Museum is situated on a 25 acre property and operates from a mixture of historical and purpose built structures. An Ontario Historical Plaque was erected in front of the Museum by the Province to commemorate the founding of Markham’s role in Ontario’s Heritage.  For Doors Open 2024 visitors may tour the John Lunau Centre, named for our founding curator, and enjoy three long term exhibitions: <ul><li style="box-sizing:inherit">A Picture of Markham: the Art of Pat Wheeler;</li><li style="box-sizing:inherit">Markham Moves, an exhibition exploring local transportation history and Newton’s Laws of motion; and</li><li style="box-sizing:inherit">Markham Community Makers, our newest offering featuring 3-D maker culture and design models of some local structures of note. </li></ul> The John Lunau Centre (2011), a LEED Gold certified (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) building, is also home to the Museum’s storage for small artifacts and community archives collections. As part of Door Open 2024 we are offering pre-registered vault tours with members of the curatorial team. This is a rare opportunity to see how we care for items donated by the community.  <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1712680518/x34opbwj2wrr9u9axioa.jpg" style="width:600px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto;text-align:center;position:relative;max-width:100%;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;user-select:none;box-sizing:inherit" /> For information on the other events going on during Doors Open Markham, visit <a href="https://yourvoicemarkham.ca/Doors-Open-Markham">https://yourvoicemarkham.ca/Doors-Open-Markham</a> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1712681031/pcn7hfw1dxqmjmztqq1c.jpg" style="width:600px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto;text-align:center" />
