Temporary Closure
The Museum is closed until April 2021 as renovations to one of our permanent exhibitions are underway. Although closed, we are continuing our work, including fulfilling genealogy and family history inquiries and gift shop purchases online. Your support makes all the difference in helping us celebrate and share the stories of what brings us together. Please consider a donation today. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Museum when it is safe to do so.
The Library and Archives Canada's service point is temporarily closed but they continue to offer enhanced remote services.
