Current Special Exhibits at MacBride

Jim Robb’s Colourful Five Percent

Local artist and historian Jim Robb has been collecting, photographing and painting the Yukon’s history for more than 50 years. Jim has long been a friend of MacBride Museum and we are proud to work with him to showcase his collection. The exhibition will feature components of the Colourful Five Percent along with items from Jim’s extensive private collection. MacBride Museum would like to thank the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency for their support for this exhibit. This exhibit is scheduled to stay on display at MacBride until the autumn of 2013.
