Hungry Planet
Through Sept. 6
425-1365, 492-0768Museums, Last Chance, Summer Guide
Whether you're brown-baggin' it, ordering from the same ol' place or stuffing the usual bag of chips down your gullet, work can take the enjoyment and meaning out of food. Take an extended lunch---c'mon it's summer---and head down to Pier 21. It's hosting two travelling exhibitions, Food for Health and Hungry Planet. The former, from the Canada Agriculture Museum, explores various "Canadian initiatives" that strive for nutritious and safe food. In the latter, from the Montreal Science Centre, issues such as famine, drought, political power and global production are considered. As with work, when people move arond the country and the world, they take their food with them. –Sean Flinn
Riding with Meteorites
Through Sept. 6
424-7353Museums, Last Chance, Summer Guide
When the Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History reopened earlier in June, it did so with a bang, delivering two killer summer shows. The first, Venom, is a live animal exhibit, featuring various species of venomous critters, the tarantula, emperor scorpion and the king cobra, with regular live educational shows included in museum admission. The second is Riding with Meteorites where you can learn about asteroids and meteors and the consequences of their impacts, as well as see actual meteor fragments. They probably won't give you special powers, unfortunately. –Carsten Knox
