HERITAGE New Westminster Museum

Located at Anvil Centre, the New Westminster Museum cares for over 37,000 objects that celebrate our city’s stories and history. Taking you on a journey from 10,000 years ago through today, our exhibits focus on the land, people and development of the place we call New Westminster. We aspire to be a fun and entertaining place of learning and use the objects in the museum’s collection as an entrypoint to inquiry, discussion and exploration about the city.
