The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) defines geopark in Geoparks International Network of Geoparks Program:
- A territory encompassing one or more sites of scientific importance, not only for geological reasons but also by virtue of its archaeological, ecological or cultural value.
|
A museum focuses on the identity of a place to enhance the welfare and development of the communities. Now the definition is becoming diverse.

Chipman Hill
Remarkable for the range of trompe l'æil effects and skillful execution, the wall and ceiling paintings inside this residence, part of a row of similar town houses, reflect the taste of the High Victorian era. Combining classical and Renaissance influences, the paintings create the illusion of sculpture, wall panelling, materials and texstures. These works, probably executed in the 1870s, are an expression of the wealth of a successful entrepreneur. This is a rare surviving example of early artistic painted decoration in a Canadian home.
I stayed for the 6th conference of global geoparks from 18 to 23 September 2014
