Looking for a family (and pandemic) friendly activity for Family Day? Sidney has you covered with Sidney’s Family Day Weekend Lego Event presented by @peninsulacoop!

LEGO is only a couple weeks away! Are you excited? Because we sure are! Let us know if you're coming and be sure to reserve your time online!

We've been hard at work since June on our RE-ORG project at the #SidneyMuseum and we're nearing the end! So for today's #MuseumMonday we're giving you a glimpse behind the scenes and showing off our new frame storage. Stay tuned for more updates as we wrap up this huge project!

Check out the icicles attached to RCAF Building 12! This photo was taken in WWII, but it's nice to remind people that winters on the peninsula can see their fair share of cold weather! #SidneyMuseum #SidneyBC #NorthSaanich #TBT #YYJ

"Museum" comes from the Greek word "mouseion" meaning "seat of the Muses." And the first museums were more about philosophy than learning history through objects. Though you are welcome to think about the meaning of life as you visit us! #SidneyMuseum #MuseumMonday #MuseumHistory

Did you know that Sidney is considered a booktown? A booktown is a small town or village that is known to have a large number of bookstores, especially of used and antique books. Do you think you've been to all the ones in Sidney? #SidneyMuseum #MuseumMonday #booktown #SidneyBC

4th and Beacon, Sidney BC in the 1930s. It's nice to know that desserts have been a feature of our downtown for a long time! #SidneyBC #TBT #SidneyMuseum

The Saanich Peninsula is full of beautiful sights #BrentwoodBay #SidneyMuseum #TBT

Like our friends at @MyBCAM - our Museum is open today. We will be featuring a special display of photos and artefacts from our collection to mark this important day. #RemembranceDay #SidneyMuseum #Sidney #NorthSaanich

We have another #MuseumMonday Mystery! Once again we are calling on our brilliant community to help us identify an artefact in our collection. It is a solid metal object with a rectangular hole going right through the narrow end. Any ideas? #SidneyMuseum #Sidney #NorthSaanich

Ever wondered what Sidney's first theatre looked like? Well here it is! In 1913 it was only a tiny space on Beacon. Can you find the sign? #SidneyMuseum #Sidney #TBT #NorthSaanich

Calling all local #LEGO collectors! We need Harry Potter LEGO! Please call or e-mail us if you have any Harry Potter LEGO kits you'd be able to loan to the Museum from January to March for our 2021 exhibit. It looks like it'll be magical #SidneyMuseum #Sidney #NorthSaanich
