Events Description
Visit the Diefenbunker to experience “Hidden Heroes,” an impactful exhibition by 2024 Artist-in-Residence Don Kwan. This exhibition honors the contributions of essential workers — the often-overlooked cleaners, cafeteria staff, maintenance workers, emergency responders, and others who played a crucial role in sustaining the bunker’s operations during the Cold War.
Visitors will have the opportunity to reflect on history and the individuals who helped shape Canada’s journey toward equity and inclusion. The exhibition features compelling mixed-media installations, including intricate sculptures crafted from archival photographs, paper ephemera, and more.
On display:
– Now until February 2, 2025, during the museum’s operating hours.
Entry is included with museum admission.
