Reviews of Dundas Museum & Archives (Museum)

Leslie Murray-Leung

I was here for an event and wow is it a beautiful space. Only had a little time to see some of their exhibits but very interesting that a small town like Dundas has a museum but a city like Toronto does not.

What a great little museum with free admission. Don't forget to donate once you're there! The local artifacts are enchanting, and the periodic exhibitions are well curated and always beautiful and fascinating. The staff members are knowledgeable and welcoming. The current exhibition of art inspired by Dundas is simply gorgeous. I will definitely bring friends to see it. I visit this museum often, and I'm so grateful we have this treasure in Dundas.

Again another museum which is integrated into the heart of the community. Kevin and his team do a wonderful job of not only creating and rotating new exhibits. There is always a new event around the corner. Not to mention that Dundas itself is nestled in the escarpment - I recommend a leisurely bike ride or car drive. Plan to spend the day - there is lots to see and learn.Check out #exploreontariomuseums

Lots of info about dundas with some fun things to do for the kids. Lots of stuff to see though some items could use labels that are currently unlabeled. Friendly staff and low cost!

My friend and I visited the museum and thoroughly enjoyed the eclectic local collection. Maps, artifacts, photos and pieces of equipment made be Bertrams, all of it guaranteed to fascinate adults and children alike. The staff is courteous, helpful and knowledgeable.

I visited Dundas Ontario for the Art Tour and the museum hosted some with the local artist under the roof . The museums history is written about early settlers to the area and from their perspective and not from the prospective off the First Nations tribes . This l find very concerning then mentioned it to the staff as the history dated back to the 1700 and prior confederation in 1867 Canada the nation was formed and this land was stolen from the various First Nations tribes some of those are extinct as a result of being murdered and the cultural genocide continues 151 years later. There's no representation from the First Nations people , there's no representation of their stories , their history and I as we know treaty agreements doesn't mean that the land was sold I stated on the information posted and the museum . Until the cultural genocide stop then until the stories are being told by the First Nations we will never know the truth and their extinction continues daily . Confederation laws are still being used against First Nations communities yet this is not their land it belongs to the First Nations therefore only their rights and their laws apply . Prime minister Justin Trudeau said I'm sorry for the residential schools but his actions prove but he isn't sorry in the still enforcing The Crown versus the Indigenous just as those who enforced residential schools , Confederation , the falsified purchase agreement and documentation stating ownership and property when it is only the First Nations land. #Canadian History, #indigenous, #First Nations.

I had a good time visiting this museum. It displays the history of Dundas area. Although it is small museum but it's fun to spend the time here. They have different exhibition from time to time. The staff in front desk also very friendly.

Kevin Beagle

One of the most interesting small town museums you'll ever see.

Accepted to be guest speaker here. Wonderful reception and assistance. They advertized the event and had overflow attendance. DVHS was well repared for the overfow and used external monitor and sound system to accomodate the extra guest.

Dundas Community museum is a nice charming place to get familiar with the history of Dundas town, its community and its role in regional development. The Museum includes a few rooms of the exhibition related to Dundas history and an art gallery which both take about an hour to look through. There is no cafe in the museum, but there is the main downtown street with cafes and restaurants five minutes away from there.

I have been at 2 private events one for work and one personal. Staff is great and the space is great for a small group (20-40).

I was there for a summer course run by the Dundas Valley School of Art, so I didn't have much time to look at the exhibits. However, it's a lovely space and the staff are helpful. Definitely going back to take a closer look!

Absolutely fantastic

Hosted a baby shower for 30 guests in the Pirie House space. It is a lovely space, great size for 30 - 50 people! The dining room area is a great spot for the food and the kitchen is helpful! Only things to be aware of ahead of time is that there is only street parking (although we didn't have too much of an issue with guests finding a spot), and that you must take your own garbage back with you as they are zoned as residential and have limited garbage bags allowed at the curb each week. I didn't realize this until I was getting ready to leave so it was tough to fit 4 large full garbage bags in my already packed car. Staff was very friendly and very helpful! I would rent this space again!

I took my boys 20 and 13 and I was worried that they may find it boring! However to my surprise they were reading and talking together. While I of course was enjoying reading and looking at all the incredible artifacts by myself. I really enjoyed the afternoon especially witnessing my boys discussing and encouraging one another to come read this or take a look at this. Talk about a memorable afternoon. Highly recommend this Museum to anyone who enjoys History and appreciates Dundas and it interesting past!????????????
