The Ken Seiling Waterloo Region Museum is the largest community museum in Ontario, with stories and histories of Waterloo Region. In addition to visiting this museum, stop by select buildings at the nearby Doon Heritage Village (which showcases rural life in 1914) during their renovations — a bonus for Doors Open visitors exclusively. Enjoy pilot programming at Doon and provide feedback.
With nearly 50,000 items capturing life in Waterloo Region, the collection at the Ken Seiling Waterloo Region Museum is the most comprehensive of any local museum in Canada. These artifacts’ origins range from the 1500s to the modern era and are lovingly obtained by, and preserved in, the museum’s state-of-the-art Curatorial Centre. The acquisition and safekeeping of these items provides a comprehensive visual history of the region and its stories. But the effort to preserve the past also serves the community in understanding the present and navigating the future. Explore the Curatorial Centre in the video below.
