Ruth Home developed the education department at the Royal Ontario Museum from 1928-1945. She was an important figure in the history of the museum, and more broadly, in the history of museum-based education in the province. She played a major role in expanding museum audiences and developed programming that was geared towards what were then considered women’s interests and worked to connect the museum to schoolchildren and teachers. This paper analyses Home’s career as a means of offering insight into the early gendered dynamics of museum education and exploring the origins of many of the programs we currently associate with museum education today.
