About

At the forks of the Deshkan Ziibi/Thames River on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lūnaapéewak and Attawandaron, and operating within the homeland of the Chippewas of the Thames, Oneida Nation, and Munsee Delaware Nations, we are Museum London.

We’re more than a museum—we’re a vibrant cultural hub where art, history, and contemporary ideas come to life. Year-round, our exhibitions spark curiosity and conversation, while our programs engage learners of all ages. Thousands of students visit annually for hands-on experiences that make learning memorable and fun.

From guided art-making to film screenings, live performances, workshops, and community celebrations, our events invite everyone to connect, create, and celebrate art, history and culture together.

Our collection includes over 5,600 artworks—both historical and contemporary—spanning painting, sculpture, photography, digital media, and installation. Alongside this, we care for nearly 50,000 artifacts that tell the stories of Londoners across generations, including everyday objects that reflect our city’s evolving identity.

Museum London is a not-for-profit and registered charity, powered by a passionate team of staff and volunteers, and guided by our 2023–2027 Strategic Plan: Honouring and Amplifying Our Interconnections.
