The Biggar Museum & Gallery

The Biggar Museum and Gallery opened on September 30, 1972, due to the hardwork and dedication of a group of members from the local community. First located in the basement of the Lionel A. Jones Library, the museum eventually outgrew its space and in 1993, Royden Donahue donated a building that would have allowed the museum to expand. Unfortunately, the building was destroyed in 1994 by fire, but the museum board decided to carry on with the move by building a new structure on the donated site. After approximately three years of major fundraising and planning the Biggar Museum and Gallery celebrated its grand opening on October 4, 1997, at its new location at 105-3rd Ave. West.

The Biggar Museum and Gallery is more than just a museum. It not only houses a variety of historical artifacts that illustrate the town and district's history, but it also contains a gift shop and an art gallery that features a new show approximately every four to eight weeks.

here is always something new to see and entrance is by donation to view the Biggar Museum and Gallery so everyone may come and enjoy!

If you're interested in helping the museum with a donation, please read more about our Friends of the Museum Foundation.

Today we can boast three part-time staff members, and an excellent group of dedicated volunteers. We are constantly training our staff and volunteers through various programs offered with our membership in the Museums Association of Saskatchewan. We have been active members since 1989 and are constantly making use of funding and support resources offered.
