The Guelph Civic Museum is a museum of culture and natural history located in Guelph, Ontario. It was established to explore the culture and natural history of Guelph through exhibitions and public programs.[1] In 2012, it opened a new location at 52 Norfolk St.,[2] after having previously been located in a three-story building at 6 Dublin Street South.[3]

The Guelph Civic Museum showcases Guelph’s history through permanent and changing exhibits, a fun and interactive family gallery, and special events and activities. Located in the recently renovated Loretto Convent, atop the hill at Norfolk Street, and beside the landmark Church of Our Lady, the museum is home to a collection of over 30,000 artifacts that bring Guelph’s past to life. Many of the items in the museum have been donated by citizens of the city of Guelph.[4]

The museum was closed to the public on June 30, 2011, in preparation for a transition to a new building,[5] and reopened at 52 Norfolk Street in January 2012.
