Current Exhibit: Taking Flight
The Peace River Museum, Archives and Mackenzie Centre is proud to present its newest exhibit: Taking Flight.
This exhibit explores the history of aviation in Peace River, while also providing the “Ace Academy: Flight Experience” from the Canada Aviation and Space Museum. Ace Academy is a digital interactive exhibition space where players enter an immersive environment and activate the intuitive experience by simply moving their bodies.
Authentic aircraft imagery takes centre stage, as players fly a realistic rendering of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum’s Sopwith Ship Camel biplane. Moving their arms up and down, and tilting their bodies, players manoeuvre an airplane on screen — dodging enemy aircraft and aligning themselves to fire.
This fun, interactive experience is surrounded by information about local aviators, as well as international, national, and local events in aviation history. There is something for everyone in visiting this new exhibit!
