canadian war museum

Personally, I was underwhelmed by the museum.

The Museum of the Regiments (Military Museum) here in Calgary is a far better experience.

Awesome museum!!!!!

But to who??? I'd like a little piece of that action where do they sell the stuff?

Gov auctions?

To the "Friends of the Canadian War Museum" from what I've heard.

Yes, they are mostly historians, which isn't saying much.

Many of the people in museums these days are just careerists who've found a nice little warm niche to hide in, there's a nicle "old girls club" forming as well. Same as the "old boys club" except that many of them don't know much about the history or the artifacts and care even less.

The CWM won't even accept digital photo donations from what I've heard. Personally I would give nothing to museums. Many of the small ones, including regimental museums have theft and/or misappropriation problems.

I have that from a former provincial minister and historian.
