In celebration of our weekly summer Victorian Teas in the Henry House Gardens, the Oshawa Community Museum and Archives presents the exhibit “Sunday Best – Fancy Victorian Clothing” on display until Fall 2008. This exhibit features both men’s and women’s Victorian clothing and accessories, focusing on formal and classy pieces from the Museum’s own collection. Also showcased are archival pieces such as photographic images of people in Victorian attire and advertisements from local Oshawa newspapers. The Victorian period began at the commencement of Queen Victoria's reign in June 1837 and ended at her death in January 1901. The Victorians experienced tremendous changes in the economic, social, cultural and political arena during their age. This also included the area of fashion trends and clothing styles. Our Victorian Teas happen every Thursday in July and August between 11:30am and 1:30pm. The price for admission is $10 for adults and $5 for children. Tea includes a selection of teas, scones, sandwiches and desserts, and a tour of the museum. Reservations are required. Join us at the Oshawa Community Museum & Archives for tea and a tour, and step into the past through fashion!

FACING MARS, our new interactive exhibition, will challenge you to consider what we face in our quest to reach the planet. Featuring more than 30 interactive exhibits, FACING MARS: Would You Survive the Journey? encourages you to "walk on Mars", test and launch rockets and "fly over" the Martian landscape. This thought-provoking exhibition was entirely developed by the Science Centre in consultation with leading experts from the field of space exploration.

Complementing the new FACING MARS exhibition, the Shoppers Drug Mart® OMNIMAX® Theatre is featuring Roving Mars. Roving Mars follows the dramatic journey of NASA's Mars Exploration Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, to the surface of the mysterious Red Planet. For five years they have roamed the Red Planet looking for signs of life - or former life. Combining actual footage with computer animations, this remarkable film offers a compelling look at the challenges and triumphs as the rovers seek to answer the age-old question: is there life on Mars?
