The Thunder Bay Museum was established in 1908, and houses six galleries that showcase local, regional and national heritage. The first and third floors display their long-term exhibits that chronicle over 10,000 years of Thunder Bay and Northern Ontario history. Throughout the year, the museum hosts traveling exhibits and rotating displays.
Visitors can enjoy interactive displays and educational programing. The museum offers lectures and publications to help further engage visitors with the history of the region. An active member of the community, the museum oversees outreach programming, and lends displays to a number of locations including schools and businesses.
The museum is operated by the Thunder Bay Historical Museum Society.
