Hayward China Museum

Hayward Fine China Museum

The Hayward Fine China Museum exhibits showcase Hayward & Warwick's prominent role in this long established Saint John industry. Hayward & Warwick is the oldest family owned business in Saint John.

The museum, located in their retail store at 85 Princess Street, will highlight the story of the manufacturing and retailing of earthenware, housewares and fine china from 1785 to present. William Warwick started his business on Prince William Street in 1853 and in 1855 sold his china and glassware business to his nephew W.H. Hayward. The families retained a business relationship until the 1920s.

The museum will also exhibit souvenir china, designed specifically for the tourist market at the turn of the 20th century. Hayward & Warwick plan to capitalize on the growing cruise ship market by attracting those passengers with an interest in collecting china, one of North America's top hobbies.

An interesting component of the exhibit will show the different shipping modes in which china was shipped to Saint John. This includes a straw-filled woven ash crate, a hogshead barrel, to the insulated cardboard boxes of today. China stored in native-made baskets will hang from the ceiling, as it was less than three decades ago.

The museum will also highlight the story of the Foley Pottery, which has its roots with William Warwick's Courtenay Bay pottery. In 1964 the pottery relocated to Labelle, Quebec where it continued as the Canuk Pottery. Many will remember Fen Foley's pottery in his home on Bayside Drive.

Muséocabinet

Le Muséocabinet est né d'une fusion entre santé et culture. Pour mettre en valeur un exemplaire rare du patrimoine architectural du milieu du 20e siècle, on installe en 2001 le cabinet d'un médecin de famille dans un espace de diffusion culturelle. La résidence, sise à l'entrée du domaine Parent à Saint-Jérôme, s'ouvre sur rendez-vous aux patients-visiteurs qui y consultent un professionnel de la santé tout en bénéficiant des expositions qui s'y trouvent. On y interprète des sujets relatifs au bâtiment lui-même, son histoire, son quartier, le mode de vie de ses contemporains ou on y installe des oeuvres sélectionnées parmi le riche patrimoine artistique du siècle, disponibles dans le réseau muséal. À l'extérieur, les lignes épurées de la construction érigée en 1959-1960 épousent la pente du terrain et rappellent l'esprit de l'oeuvre architecturale de Frank Lloyd Wright. Trois générations d'une même famille y résidèrent simultanément durant quarante ans, préfigurant l'engouement d'aujourd'hui pour la maison «intergénérationnelle». Cuisine au design d'origine intact, objets des années 1950 et 1960 ainsi que photographies et films s'échelonnant sur ces décennies composent en partie les collections conservées au Muséocabinet.
