The Saskatchewan Maritime Museum
December 12, 2019 - February 22, 2020
Art Gallery of Regina, Regina, SK


Have you heard anyone say, "In a month of Sundays?" or "A snowball's chance in July?" These are phrases of disbelief that imply something is impossible and will never happen or never succeed. Artist Todd
Gronsdahl's Saskatchewan Maritime Museum is a similarly impossible situation. Saskatchewan is a landlocked province; it doesn't border any oceans or seas. So, how could it have a maritime (relating to or bordering on the sea) history? The humour of Gronsdahl's museum lies in the absurdity of the concept.
The nonsensical idea of a Saskatchewan maritime museum reveals that no museum presents the absolute truth. History is just a story.
