Celebrate International Museum Day 2026: Bees, Bugs & Pollinators! Join Markham Museum for a buzzing celebration of International Museum Day as we explore the fascinating world of bees, bugs, and pollinators—the tiny heroes that help our ecosystems thrive! This year, we’re excited to welcome our new partners Alvéole for a special 1 hour hands-on workshop from 2 PM to 3 PM: What’s the Buzz! A dedicated beekeeper will showcase real beekeeping tools, answer your buzzing questions, and share the exciting story behind our honey bee initiative. Bee sure to build your own wild bee homes while visiting the museum. Create a safe space for native pollinators right in your own backyard. This exciting activity is made possible thanks to generous support from the Greening Action Partnership Fund. Perfect for curious minds of all ages—come learn, create, and celebrate the pollinators that keep our world blooming!
