The Military Communications and Electronics Museum is a proud member of the Kingston Association of Museums, Art Galleries and Historic sites. We are participating in this year’s March of the Museums. Join us this (March Break) in APRIL 2021 for a virtual March of the Museums!
Covid-19 has impacted a lot of things this year, but that does not mean we cannot have some fun over April break. In order to have this fun and be accessible for everyone we are going digital! Be a part of the digital March of the Museums! These family-friendly activities will include crafts, and behind-the-scenes videos.
It is open to all ages! Free activity kits will be available through Eventbrite and available for pick up from Kingston Frontenac Public Library. All you need to do is register! (Limited number of kits available so register soon!)
Your favourite sites are looking forward to sharing fun activities and videos you can do from the safety of your home; including, Military Communications & Electronics Museum, Frontenac County Schools Museum, Miller Museum of Geology, Murney Tower Museum, Fort Henry, Marine Museum, Museum of Health Care, RMC Museum and 4 NEW sites!
