Age of Influence
Youth and Nazi Propaganda
Now booking · March 2027
- 1,500 to 1,800 sq ft
- 6 kiosks
- Modular
A touring re-creation of the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre's feature exhibition, examining how the Nazi regime used youth magazines to reach a generation. Six touchscreen chapters, two period magazines and sixteen graphic panels move from "Addressing Teenage Dreams" through "Directing Teenage Anger", and close with a game-like interactive that asks visitors to identify the tactics themselves.
Built for school programming on media literacy, bias and anti-hate, and relevant to any conversation about influence and critical thinking today.
Each kiosk acts as a digital docent for its chapter, with an activity that connects the historical material to how media works on us now.

The Birth of Canadian Skateboard Culture
- 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft
- All ages
- Interactive
The story of Kevin Harris, Canada's first professional skateboarder, and the Richmond backyard half-pipe where a movement began. Visitors walk through his career skating alongside teammates like Tony Hawk, one of the largest personal collections of 1970s and 80s skate memorabilia, a to-scale replica of the Maple Road ramp, three multimedia stations and two interactive history stations.
Co-curated by Floreat's own Kolby Harris and launched with the Richmond Museum, where it ran as a semi-permanent exhibition for a year and a half. Family-friendly and nostalgic for anyone who grew up on a board.
Guided tours with Kevin Harris are available on request, and there is room to fold your local skate community into the show.
