The Collection

Over the past 100 years, the Bruce Museum has developed a diverse collection through both gifts and purchases. From its holdings of approximately 15,000 objects in fine and decorative art, natural history, and anthropology, the Museum selects items to complement its long and short-term exhibitions.
