Thunder Bay Museum, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada;
Located in a historic building, which once served as a Police Station and Court House, the Thunder Bay Museum offers visitors six galleries of local, regional and national heritage.
Our Vision; Through its exhibits, publications, collections, and programs, the Thunder Bay Museum will engage with the people of Thunder Bay and Northwestern Ontario in a spirit of openness and universal access as well as trust, freedom of expression, and debate. Our motto, “Learning Though History,” reveals our fundamental commitment to education and a dedication to the idea of a community in which citizens enjoy equal opportunity to participate in public life, culture, and an exploration of our collective past.
Our Future; Although today the museum and its programs are fully operational, renovations to our building continue. Work has been finished on all three floors of the interior including galleries, library, archives and administration areas, but as this artist’s rendering illustrates, plans exist to restore the front facade to its 1910 configuration. This was partially completed in 2007 along with the addition of a visible storage gallery to the right front of the building. Only the upper portion of the facade remains to be completed.
We wish to thank all of our funders over the years — each of the three levels of government (municipal, provincial and federal) and the many hundreds of individuals, businesses, and foundations whose generosity has made our renovations so successful.
