Stratford Perth Museum's permanent collection and new and innovative exhibits honour the past, celebrate the diverse communities of Perth County and embrace the dynamic future of this artistic and agricultural heartland. From Bard to Bieber catalogues, in photos and descriptions, some of the museums's best exhibits: Justin Bieber: Steps to Stardom, Such Stuff as Dreams, Railway Century, and Perth Regiment. This informative and visually appealing book goes beyond the simple workings of a catalogue; it takes readers through a visual and written journey of the artistic and historical events that make Stratford a Canadian hub of art, culture, and diversity.
