Our museum is where we welcome visitors throughout the year to learn and be inspired by our region’s arts and heritage. We do this principally through our long-term and rotating exhibitions that explore the history of this place and showcase work by local artists and curators.

We also host a variety of museum programs, including themed all-ages activity days and artist-led talks and panel discussions focused on current exhibitions. Learn more about our current exhibitions.
