Have you ever wondered what’s recently been donated to your local museum? In celebration of the Comox Valley, New Acquisitions will shine a spotlight on some of the donations that haven’t yet been seen by the public.

This Courtenay and District Museum curated exhibit is only possible because of this community; the families, descendants and donors who trust the museum to preserve and interpret the natural and cultural heritage of this region. From decoy brants to deco lamps and anything in between, this exhibit has something for everyone.
