Your generosity helps us preserve Ottawa’s rich history and make it accessible to everyone. By donating to the Bytown Museum, you support our mission to educate, engage, and inspire our community through the power of history.
\nHoused in Ottawa’s oldest stone building, the Bytown Museum explores the stories of an evolving city and its residents from its early days as Bytown to present day Ottawa. The museum’s collection of over 7,000 artifacts includes some singularly important pieces, such as a cast of D’Arcy McGee's death hand.
\nIn 2026, Ottawa will mark a once-in-a-century milestone: the 200th anniversary of the founding of Bytown - the settlement that grew into Canada’s capital. The Bytown Museum, located at the very heart of that origin story, is proud to lead a powerful year of bicentennial programming that reflects, reclaims, and reimagines our city’s shared history.

\nInstallé dans le plus ancien bâtiment en pierre d'Ottawa, le Musée Bytown retrace l'histoire d'une ville en pleine évolution et de ses habitants, depuis ses débuts sous le nom de Bytown jusqu'à l'Ottawa d'aujourd'hui. La collection du musée, qui compte plus de 7 000 artefacts, comprend des pièces d'une importance particulière, comme le moulage de la main de D'Arcy McGee à sa mort.
\nEn 2026, Ottawa célébrera un événement marquant qui ne se produit qu'une fois par siècle : le 200e anniversaire de la fondation de Bytown, la colonie qui est devenue la capitale du Canada. Le Musée de Bytown, situé au cœur même de cette histoire, est fier de mener une année riche en programmation pour le bicentenaire, qui reflète, revendique et réinvente l'histoire commune de notre ville.
\nEn guise de remerciement pour votre don, nous vous enverrons des impressions numériques de notre collection sur le thème des fêtes. Elles vous seront envoyées par e-mail dans les deux jours ouvrables suivant votre don.
