The Fort la Reine Museum has a few new exhibits on display this summer.

The first one is called Fighting in Flanders: Gas, Mud and Memory and comes from the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. Fort la Reine Museum Executive Director and Curator Tracey Turner shares what the display highlights.

Executive Director and Curator Tracey Turner"Real experiences and challenges that Canadian soldiers endured while serving in Belgium in the First World War. It talks about their adaptability, the surroundings, the first use of gas and we've actually highlighted a lot of our collection within the exhibition from our war artefacts."

The exhibit opened in May and will remain on display until September third.

The second exhibit is a travelling exhibition which comes to the museum from the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam and Turner notes they're really excited about it. She explains the exhibit, entitled A History for Today, demonstrates what life was like for Anne Frank as a young, Jewish girl living through the Holocaust.

"It'll be a very emotional exhibition. We're partnering with the Jewish Heritage Centre in Winnipeg to bring some really incredible artefacts through, and the International Yad Vashem Centre to present personal histories and narratives from Holocaust survivors in Canada. We'll have tours that you can actually get and take in the museum building where the exhibit will be open, it's going to be actually in one of our heritage homes. We'll actually have some reenactments of Anne throughout the summer on weekends, we'll have an actress playing Anne."

She adds there is lots to see.

The History for Today Exhibition opens June fifth.
