Leaps like a Killer Whale

October 13th, 2015

“The Klondike gold fields are a silent backdrop to Bill Reid’s choice of gold as a material,” claims Jack Lohman in Treasures of the Royal British Columbia Museum and Archives (RBCM 2015), a lavishly illustrated coffee table book with sub-sections by Steven Point, Martha Black, Richard J. Hebda, Grant Keddie and Gary Mitchell. “That is what museums are good at–we encourage visitors to make these connections, to leap over time like a Killer Whale, to weave a rich tapestry of history out of a single display.” $39.95 978-0-7726-6830-1
