Miller says Palestinian exhibit at rights museum ‘should be rectified’
Miller says the two-panel exhibit should be corrected after Jewish groups and Israel said it lacked context and could fuel anti-Jewish hate.
- On Monday, Heritage Minister Marc Miller says the Canadian Museum made an "error in curation" regarding its new exhibit on displaced Palestinians and stated it "should be rectified."
- The exhibit, which opened Saturday in Winnipeg, focuses on the Nakba—the forcible displacement of about 750,000 Palestinians—and has become a flashpoint between Canadian groups supporting Israelis and those supporting Palestinians.

- While Arab and Muslim groups hail the exhibit as examining hard truths, the CEO previously noted that exhibits often focus on specific community stories rather than comprehensive accounts of multi-faceted events.
