The Orillia Museum of Art & History (OMAH) is an incorporated registered charity that acts as a hub of culture and heritage in the heart of Orillia’s Peter Street Arts District.  Located in the heart of downtown Orillia, the clocktower of the Sir Samuel Steele Memorial Building is a beacon for our historical location, but that’s just the beginning! For over ten years OMAH has been inspiring creativity and celebrating history, growing as a hub for local artists and historians. 

We invite families to try our drop in programs, teachers to explore our educational programming, learn about Orillia and area’s vibrant history, or enjoy an exhibition or two.
