Let’s Talk Grimsby Survey:

If you can’t attend the in-person or virtual meeting, we encourage you to complete the online survey to share your opinion:
Cultural Strategic Plans | Let's Talk Grimsby

Your feedback will help inform planning for these two municipal cultural institutions and their role within Grimsby’s broader arts, culture, and heritage landscape. While the plan focuses specifically on the Gallery and the Museum, comments related to cultural services more broadly—including gaps or future opportunities—will be captured in a Cultural Strategic Considerations document for the Town of Grimsby.

Thank you in advance for sharing your insights and helping shape the future of culture in our community.

About The Grimsby Museum 

The Grimsby Museum was established in 1984 to serve the community as an integral part of its cultural life. The Museum is owned and operated by the Town of Grimsby.

The Grimsby Museum has two exhibition galleries. Our permanent exhibit, Grimsby: Our Story, takes you on a journey through the town’s history from past to present. The second gallery features rotating exhibits, with details on our current temporary exhibits available under the Exhibitions tab. We host travelling exhibitions and feature local history relating to Grimsby and the Niagara Region. Our artifact collection consists of 15,000 pieces of art, objects, textiles, archives, photographs and archaeological material. We also host a variety of special events, children’s programs and workshops. We have a gift shop and small picnic park facing the Niagara Escarpment.

There’s something for everyone at your Grimsby Museum! Stay in touch and discover something new.
