A weekend full of activities at the Canadian Museum of Civilization
Gatineau, Quebec, November 15, 2004 — On November 20 and 21, the Canadian Museum of Civilization offers fascinating activities to introduce visitors to two newly opened exhibitions.
In conjunction with the exhibition Gift of the Gods: The Art of Wine from the Ancient World to Canadian Vineyards, graduates of the Algonquin College sommelier programme host a one hour informal and interactive event, A Nose for Wine.
