General Information:
The Surrey Museum is open and yours to discover! The new 24,000 square foot museum is the first new museum built in B.C. in the 21st century. Explore modern new permanent exhibits, attractive and expanded space for programs, activities and crafts, a new 42-seat orientation theatre, and exciting Temporary Exhibits. The Museum is also the new home for the textile library and weaving studio, and the Honey Hooser weaving collection, all relocated from Elgin Heritage Park. The museum’s permanent community-history collection, one of the largest in the province, tells Surrey’s tales past, present and future. Temporary exhibits enhance the collection with diverse and exciting themes.

This community history collection is the third largest in British Columbia and offers visitors an unparalleled opportunity to see, explore and discover the story of Surrey. The Museum features exhibits of a selection of 5,000 year old stone tools created by the Indigenous Peoples of the area. It also houses the 1881 Town hall, Surrey's first seat of civic government, and displays re-creations of the interiors of turn of the century homes and businesses that will both educate and entertain visitors of all ages.

The Anderson Log Cabin, built in 1882, offers visitors a peek into early pioneer life. Special temporary exhibitions change several times a year, and programs and hands-on activities for all ages are offered.
