Canadian Pacific Railway in the Rockies
This is a really fun design concept - when you enter the snow shed, you will hear immigrant workers talking and the sound of their tools on the track - then you hear and FEEL an avalanche! Listen to Michale Lang (Executive Director, Whyte Museum), discussing the Immigrants for Industry exhibition: The story of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) and the immigrants who helped build it is just one of the many stories in the new Gateway to the Rockies exhibition being developed by the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies. We want your input and feedback on this permanent (ten year life) exhibition that we are planning to open at the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies in the spring of 2012. Tell us what you think of this and the other concepts and stories featured here. Let us know how you think we could make this exhibition more interesting. Please keep in mind that this is a draft of the storyline, not the finished product. As the stories develop, information will be updated....
