At The Johnston Collection, education is at the heart of everything we do.

Through guided exhibition tours, lectures, and hands‑on encounters with Collection objects, visitors of all ages connect meaningfully with the past. From school children discovering stories behind objects, to tertiary students building cultural sector skills, to adults seeking fresh insights, our programs spark curiosity and a lifelong love of learning.

As an independent, self‑funded public museum, our educational programs are made possible by the generosity of our supporters. Your donation helps us welcome learners of all ages — including students from regional and under‑resourced communities — by supporting tailored learning experiences.

Continuing the legacy of our benefactor, William Robert Johnston (1911-1986), every gift, large or small, helps us care for our collections and heritage buildings, and educate, inspire, and delight our visitors, now and into the future.

I warmly invite you to support The Johnston Collection as we expand our educational outreach.
