This museum is great! The exhibits are well curated, the narrative is well laid out and your (adult) 4$ admission fee includes a state of the art self guided iPad tour.

Great history of kenora LOTWoods. Would be nice to see more from surrounding area like Minaki right on the Trans Canada highway.

The museum is so great and I recommend everyone to check it out. It has displays on the First Nations of the area, and the settlers that came after. It's set up with three levels, and you make your way further down then take a ramp back up. It was a great experience to learn more about Kenora and their community!

Dylan Auguste

The staff is so great, so friendly, so involved in their work! And the museum is really great to understand how a Canadian community can grow, and why it can also decrease. This is an amazing place, for Canadians and foreigners.

Small town with a nice museum. Quite a few displays of early kenora. Enjoyable.

Lovely little museum. We went here while waiting for the cruise ship. It took about 45 minutes to work through the exhibits. Very cheap entry fee.

Very well laid-out for a regional museum, with a permanent exhibit collection that more than adequately tells the story of Kenora, and the towns which amalgamated to create Kenora. Each summer when we visit there is always an incredibly well curated seasonal exhibit that expands on the local story with particular focus (we've seen Residential Schools, Jingle Dresses, Cartography, Float Planes--the list goes on)--and those seasonal exhibits are well worth the return visit. Well-informed staff who are ready to answer question, and an excellent paper guide can help you experience even more from the permanent collection. The museum also offers a scavenger hunt for children of reading age which we all enjoyed. New--and right next door--is an impressively designed gallery with the same thoughtful permanent collection and seasonal exhibit programme as the main museum. I would say it's a great rainy day excursion--but I never feel regret spending an hour at The Muse, even on a sunny day! It's a must-stop for us each summer.

Tons of information! Definitely make sure you give yourself 1-2 hours for this place

Andrea Morison

This beautiful museum is the perfect size to get through within a couple of hours or less - which is nice, because you can only absorb so much at at time. You can pick up an i-pad for a self guided, detailed tour/information on the exhibits or just wander through, reading the plaques on your own. There is always a featured exhibit right across from the front desk and a lovely little gift shop with a wonderful selection of books on the local area as well as quality children's and gift items. Lake of the Woods and Kenora are full of history, this is a wonderful place to gain a better appreciation for this special part of the world.

This was my first time in this museum and I would have to say it's worth the trip to look around. But there one thing missing..... Exhibit number 9 or display case 9. Over all, it was a good place to visit.
