The Museum holdings include archeological specimens, ethnological materials, historical material, documents, furniture, contemporary paintings, drawings, graphics, sculptures, photographs, fine crafts and contemporary installations.

The archeological and ethnographic collections make up the permanent collection and are presented in a dramatic storyline beginning with our Iroquoian and Algonkian prehistoric past through to the 21st century. Of special note is our study collection of contemporary art from artists of First Nations’ ancestry which selections are made for display in our temporary galleries on an alternating basis throughout the year. Enhancing the permanent gallery are many special exhibitions, encompassing themes of art, history, science and popular culture. As well, the Centre hosts special lectures, demonstrations, workshops, artist residencies, performances and festivals to correspond to enhance the exhibit program.
