Established in 1967, the McMaster Museum of Art (MMA) is a public, non-profit, university-affiliated gallery situated in the heart of McMaster University campus in Hamilton, Ontario close to the Sterling Street entrance (attached to Mills Library). We are home to the University’s collection of more than 6,000 objects and present changing exhibitions of historical, modern, and contemporary art, and related events.

Our Mission

The McMaster Museum of Art is a meeting space for both the University campus and the community situated within the traditional territories of the Mississauga and the Haudenosaunee nations. The MMA engages and inspires through arts presentation and promotion, as well as by: growing an awareness of the interconnectivity of the past, present and future; advancing de-colonization; engaging in innovative and imaginative research; dismantling institutional and ideological boundaries; partnering and collaborating with intentionality; diversifying the collection; and building capacity.
