Archaeology brings the stories of how people lived to life. These stories connect us to our shared human heritage and give us a sense of place in the world. 

Mission

We share, interpret and care for the archaeological record to advance an understanding of Ontario’s heritage.

Why Support MOA?

We have over 13,000 years of stories to tell.  Stories about people.  About how they lived and how they adapted to a continually changing environment.
