McMaster Museum of Art

The Museum of Art, located on the grounds of McMaster University, was created for the purpose of scientific interpretation, preservation of collections and innovative practices in the field of museology.

The mission of the museum is to promote an international university, stimulate critical thinking of students and create the most favorable conditions for study, promoting creative development and constant deepening of interest in art.

The museum was officially opened in 1994, and the permanent collection now includes about 6,000 works. Here you can see exhibits reflecting the history of art, the diversity and evolution of the media. The museum is also known worldwide for its collections of early twentieth-century German engravings.

At the moment, the museum’s collections are developing in three directions: Canadian art, early twentieth-century German expressionism and contemporary European art. The museum is open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 11am to 5pm.
