Lost and Found: The Inner Child reflects on childhood experiences and memories. It reveals the inner child of Simcoe County, through nostalgic artifacts from the Simcoe County Museum’s collection paired with varied artworks from the MacLaren Art Centre’s collection. The exhibition explores themes of change, imagination, and care, and invites viewers to reflect on personal experiences.
Curated by students of the Museum and Gallery Studies program at Georgian College, Evan Helmond, Keegan Smith, Lauren Verbakel, and Sabrina Schoneveld.
