Common questions

Where can I find museums in Canada?

This page lists every one currently known to us, nationally. Narrow it to a province or a city with the filters, or sort by name to browse alphabetically instead of by how well known each one is.

How long should I allow for a visit?

Allow around 2 hours for a visit. Where a place publishes its own guidance the listing shows that instead, and the estimate is there so a day can be planned around it.

Are any of these free to visit?

Many are. Filter by Free to see only those with no admission charge. Where a source says nothing about admission, the place is not marked free rather than assumed to be.
