Exhibits

On Now

These exhibits are currently on display at the King Heritage & Cultural Centre

In late 2016, a collection of over 400 Canadian-themed pieces of Wedgwood was donated to the King Heritage & Cultural Centre (KHCC) by the Estate of the late Keith Alwyn McLeod (1935-2014). He acquired the ceramics over his lifetime, amassing what is arguably now the most complete collection of Canadian-themed Wedgwood in existence. The KHCC is pleased to showcase pieces from this collection in a new exhibition case.
The Art of Wedgwood micro exhibition highlights a selection of pieces created by some of the many artists who contributed to the legacy of Wedgwood over the decades - many of these were Canadian!

Please note that this display will be updated 2-3 times per year so visit often to see new pieces.
Through the use of primary documents, original photographs and authentic artifacts, A Place to Call Home examines the history and heritage of King Township, on land originally occupied by Indigenous Peoples, up to the present day.
This long-term display hosts thematic pop-up exhibits throughout the year. The exhibition is located in the Walter Rolling Schoolhouse Gallery, formerly the Kinghorn one-room schoolhouse, S.S. #23, circa 1861.

The period of Queen Victoria’s rule (1837-1901) was a time of considerable change and innovation - in both fashion and society at large. This exhibit focuses on undergarments that were designed to enable women to achieve the desired and fashionable silhouette – complimenting dress-style changes.
