Reviews of The Orillia Museum of Art & History (Museum)

Rob Duncan

This is a teriffic place for kids to learn about art, visit a gallery and then make their own creation in their third floor studio. The staff are patient, engaged and great teachers!

OMAH offers visitors an experience to view art from locally & nationally recognized artists, as well as learn about Orillia’s cultural and historical backgrounds. Exhibitions change throughout the year so there is always something new to see. Programming available for families, students, adults and seniors including still life drawing sessions, history speakers events and lunch & learns. They offer the opportunity for you to take home an original art piece for a year as part of their Sir Samuel Steele Membership Program. Overall a fun community organization worth dropping by!

This place is always blocking the thru way from the parking lot to the stores. Take those eyesore fences down. So people can walk again.

Jill Price

It is hopping with cool people getting stuff done. I could have stayed in their archive all day!

It's closed temporarily. The historical building is maintained very well. The clock tower is very charming.

Saw the Primordial Water exhibit...FANTASTIC

Rob Neilly

Not far from the lake, and off the main street, the Museum is tucked away and definitely worth a visit. $5 will get you into all open galleries. You may even get to meet one the artists as they quietly work on their next creation.

Great kids' art programs. The gift store carries a nice selection of art work for purchase

Karen Newman

I went with a friend to see her art being displayed in an exhibition last Spring. The museum catches your interest as soon as you come upon the historical building. The gallery spaces are unique, and well used.

Ronald Kluger

Interesting local art exhibits. Could not find permanent art or history displays. Building is nicely renovated and family program on Sunday is worth trying. Did not see staff in the galleries. The Couchiching Conservancy art exhibit until March 2019 is very nice.

Rosemarie Gilby

Very nice display of Female Artists from the area!! Really enjoed ourselves????

Kevin MacPherson

Great place to go to..

Cathy O'Connor

Lovely old historic building that has been completely modernized inside.

Corin Payie

Great family fun days. Sunday afternoons at OMAH are a great way to celebrate with a new exciting art technique or experience. Perfect for kids of all ages and parents/adults can happily participate too! Whether you’ve got the kids for the afternoon or the whole weekend you’ll have a great take home token of your afternoon learning for a donated 5-10$ per person. Great view from the top of the building as-well, clear across lake couchiching! And over the buildings to the osmh! Highly recommended if you can contend with the probable crowd.

Tammy Gomes

Interesting place. Attended a baby shower. The art exhibit in the room where the party was hosted definitely left me me feeling a bit uncomfortable. There we're images of pimples popping, a naked woman on a tree log (ouch)

Philip Holt

Interesting look at Orillia and area.

Heather Rae

Lovely, small local Museum and Art Gallery. Interesting exhibits and nice people who always have a wealth of information to offer.

Chad

Great, fun place! But with so much spent on reno's in recent years and having so many (what seemed to be) thermostats, why is it so stuffy and each room felt like a different temperature?

Wanda Elgar

Great exhibits!

MaryAnne Sopik

Beautiful works of art to enjoy! Beautiful building. Enjoy the talks.

Glenda Spencer

Not only are there wonderful art exhibits here but there are many wonderful programs and events. The gift shop features local artists and their jewelry, books, cards and so much more at reasonable prices.

Vanessa Malloy

You can do research in the basement. Super cool.

Michele Lavallee

Small museum.
