PAMA celebrates 50 years of holding a mirror to Peel Region

The building at 9 Wellington Street goes by many names. Museum. Gallery. Archive. Even jail, at one point. But it's much more than that.

One word can’t begin to encompass the breadth of what the Peel Archives Museum and Art Gallery has accomplished over the past 50 years — the depth of history, the beauty of art, or the richness of the debate and conversation that takes place within its walls. It is a golden anniversary the organization has been celebrating throughout 2018.

Part museum, part gallery, part archive, and part community hub, the Peel Archives Museum and Art Gallery has grown and changed over its half-century of collecting, curating and exhibiting in the fast-growing, cosmopolitan community it serves.

More than just a reflection of the past, or an entertaining spot to view our contemporary social and cultural environment, PAMA hopes to be a place that hosts thoughtful discussion and exhibitions that continue to reflect our dynamic, rapidly evolving region.
