<strong>Nelson</strong>’s Cold War Bunker<br />
Congratulations to Touchstones <strong>Nelson</strong> Museum of Art and<br />
History for their recent recognition and honour from the BC<br />
Heritage Awards.<br />
The Cold War Bunker project began in 2013 when the board<br />
of directors of Touchstones <strong>Nelson</strong> Museum “rediscovered”<br />
the cold war bunker. It was determined that the history collection<br />
of <strong>Nelson</strong> and Area, managed by the museum, could<br />
be moved into the bunker’s former dormitory rooms, thus<br />
ensuring that the collection would remain more accessible and<br />
safely housed for posterity.<br />
The exhibition, programming space, and public interactive<br />
components involve a collaboratively researched and designed<br />
exhibition comprising of 5 didactic panels with archival photographs,<br />
text, and documents. In addition to collections items<br />
from the museum, there are also documentary film and interactive<br />
programming elements, including a QR-code activated<br />
touch-screen display that explores the lack of social justice,<br />
equity and inclusion that would have existed in the bunker<br />
had it been activated during the cold-war.<br />
