Museum will receive 114 pieces of art

The Niagara Falls History Museum has received a sizable donation. 

TAG Art Gallery has donated 114 pieces of art related to Niagara Falls for the 2025 exhibition schedule.

The pieces include historical prints, watercolours and pencil drawings, and range from the late 1600s to the mid-20th century. 

According to the City of Niagara Falls, brothers Tom and Frank Goldspink of TAG Art Gallery collected many of the pieces from private individuals in England whose ancestors served in the British military in Niagara. 

"We were thrilled and grateful when TAG Art Gallery reached out to ask if the History Museum would be interested in accepting this large donation," said Suzanne Moase, Head of Museum & Curatorial Services with the City of Niagara Falls. "It is not often that we receive such a kind and generous offer of this scale, and we are proud to add it to the Museum’s permanent collection. We are excited to share the collection with our visitors in January 2025 when the OPG temporary gallery is next available."

TAG Art Gallery has also donated to the St. Catharines Museum, Brock University and the Niagara-on-the-Lake museum.
