The Orillia Museum of Art & History (OMAH) is 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 Memorial Building is a beacon for our historical location, but that’s just the beginning! For over twenty years, OMAH has been inspiring creativity and celebrating history, growing as a hub for local artists and historians.

The Sir Sam Steele Memorial Building (where OMAH is housed) has a history as storied as any of its artifacts.
