Thunder Bay Museum

Good collection for a small museum encompassing the history of indigenous peoples, fur trade Era of fort William, and recent thunder bay. Nice collection of watercolors and 19th century photos.

The third floor that was closed is open now. They have rooms for rent should you want to hold an event. I watched a short film narrated by Jane Goodall. They have beautiful world War artifacts. There is a small selection of paintings. For a 3 dollar entry, you can't really complain about anything.

A nice walk through history of the Thunder Bay area. Very accommodating and friendly staff.

After visiting Fort William Historical Museum came here to fill in the history of Thunder Bay.
Well presented highlights of pre colonial times going back 10000 plus years with archaeological displays. It had displays of Lakehead so I was unsure visiting from Australia what that referred to but the staff member explained the tow towns joining together and the area generally being known as Lake Head. It may be helpful to have some actual narrative about the amalgamation naming and other history.
The rail, CPR and shop displays were good.
I enjoyed the visiting racism display- very hands on and practical.
In some displays the light was too harsh for good photos.

I liked this place, but when I got closer there were a lot of homeless people. Couldn't fully enjoy this place.
