THEMUSEUM is a charitable organization which awes, inspires and enlightens almost 100,000 guests each year. We pride ourselves on being a new type of emerging museum – one of ideas and experiences based on Art & Technology @Play.

We are dedicated to scanning the globe for fresh cultural content and using it to stage experiences that stimulate transformative connections for our audiences. Our values are Experiential Learning, Unexpected Intersections and Diverse Voices.

THEMUSEUM recently received 3-year funding from the City of Kitchener allowing us to execute a plan for sustainability and growth. In doing so we intend to continue to contribute to the downtown core vibrancy, and broader economic and social growth across the Region.
