Guelph Civic Museum

Guelph Civic Museum, Local history museum in Guelph, Canada.

Guelph Civic Museum occupies a renovated building on Norfolk Street with exhibition spaces across multiple floors dedicated to regional heritage. The galleries display photographs, furniture, textiles, and artifacts that chronicle how the city developed over time.

The institution opened in 1967 in the Winter Fair Horse Stables and later moved to Dublin Street South before settling at its current Norfolk Street location. These relocations reflect how the museum expanded alongside the city's growth.

The museum displays textiles, furniture, and decorative arts that reflect how people in Guelph lived across generations. As you walk through the galleries, you encounter everyday objects that tell stories of local families and their connections to the region.

The museum sits atop the hill on Norfolk Street beside the Church of Our Lady, in the former Loretto Convent. Admission also covers entry to McCrae House at 108 Water Street, the birthplace of John McCrae. The building is reached from the Norfolk Street side, and the McCrae sculpture stands in the foreground outside.

A sculpture of Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae by Ruth Abernethy was erected in the foreground of the museum in 2015. It shows him in artillery officer's dress with his medical bag nearby as he writes, with battlefield destruction and poppies at his feet. McCrae wrote 'In Flanders Fields' during World War I and was born at McCrae House, 108 Water Street, also part of Guelph Museums.
