In Conversation with CBC's Bob McDonald

Nov 22, 2026 2:30 PM – 4:30 PM THEMUSEUM
Literary & Talks Talk

Join THEMUSEUM for a conversation with Bob McDonald. Bob is best known as the host of CBC’s Quirks & Quarks, in addition to being an author and science journalist. What if Everything We Know is Wrong? Throughout history, science has shown us time and again that the way we perceive the world through our five senses is incomplete. When we look around, the Earth appears to be flat and unmoving. It took a lot of science, mathematics and engineering to figure out that we live on a ball that spins like a top, circles a star, which circles a galaxy that is only one of billions of others in an ever-expanding universe. This illustrated talk is a journey through time to look at significant thinkers (including Galileo) who altered our perception of the universe. And this process is not over. There is still much we don't know! Before the talk, ticket holders can visit Leonardo da Vinci - 500 Years of Genius. This event is in celebration of the 10th Anniversary of THEMAKERSPACE, and is a part of The da Vinci Dialogues. PROGRAMMING PARTNER Tickets are $50+tax for General Admission. For $120, consider the VIP Experience which includes a brunch with Bob McDonald ahead of the event. A tax receipt for the maximum allowable amount will be part of this ticket. Parking is free on Sunday in the Duke Street Garage.
