We’ve got an exciting line-up of new exhibitions & installations:

The largest exhibition of Brazilian art ever presented in Canada, Tropi-X brings together over 70 artworks by 44 artists to explore bold, evolving expressions of identity, culture, and the Canadian diaspora.


A vibrant new series of ceramics by acclaimed Colombian-Canadian singer and creative powerhouse Lido Pimienta honours the Black and Indigenous women who raised her, blending personal history, cultural traditions, and bold visual storytelling to challenge colonial narratives and celebrate community.


This new multisensory permanent collection exhibition weaves together artworks and historical artifacts from the Museum’s holdings, inviting visitors to explore everyday objects, sensations, and surroundings that spark creativity, reflect the human experience, and reveal the profound beauty embedded in daily life.


Celebrating the lives of Constance Humphrys, Ernest W. Marshall, and Alice Elliott, three Londoners who, in their own time and way, expressed creativity through fashion, engineering, and craft, leaving behind quiet but remarkable legacies preserved in Museum London’s collection.


Highlighting the historical hand tools housed in Museum London’s material culture collection and used by woodworkers, blacksmiths, and masons from the mid-19th to early 20th centuries.


Marking a bold new chapter for London artist Billy Bert Young, Cloudburst showcases vibrant, theatrical paintings that fuse pop culture, nostalgia, and layered storytelling into dreamlike visual puzzles that spark the imagination.


A powerful installation of over 50 archival photographs that celebrate the joy, resilience, and everyday lives of Black families in London, Ontario, honouring the legacy of freedom seekers and expanding the visual history of Black Canadian life.


An interactive installation by 30 Holy Cross Secondary School students, inspired by London’s rich creative history, that transforms everyday furniture into playful, music-making sculptures, inviting visitors of all ages to explore sound, art, and collaboration.
