The Ontario Museum of History and Art aims to expand the community's knowledge of local culture through educational programs, exhibits and special events. The museum exhibits in detail, the life and people of the Inland Empire and the docents organize various outreach programs and field trips throughout the year. One of the highlights during Autumn is the Dia de los Muertos festival, when local artists showcase the macabre through painting, sculpture and crafts. Every year the event draws in thousands over the Halloween season.

tripadvisorSo much to see, especially loved the dinosaur section!
MoreThis museum is in Ontario near the city hall. It is not super big, but it covers lots of historical info about the city through exhibits on art. They have a workshop, and it's free to enter. Will take about an hour but was very interesting to view.
MoreWe started at the Rose garden. We stopped to smell the roses and boy were they fragrant. Then we head inside and opted for the exhibit while there was a book reading taking place. There were so many amazing stories and some cool artifacts as well. Can’t wait until the Black and White exhibit comes. Very good breakaway a must see and know if you are local.
MoreRECOMMENDED FOR: ~Local Ontario Residents ~History buffs ~IE visitors ~Those looking for free things to do in Ontario I love this museum. Not only does it have a fantastic museum full of Ontario and Inland Empire history, including Route 66 memorabilia. You'll also find regularly rotating special exhibits. I've seen a few of them and so far I've enjoyed each of these exhibits. Some that stand out are the clown/circus exhibit and the industrial art exhibit of Millard and Tony Sheets. The museum is located on the grounds of the original city hall and the first park in the city of Ontario, Nugent's Park. The grounds have been completely redone to be water saving, but the lovely rose gardens are still intact and worth visiting for you rose lovers. The grounds remodel look awesome and have really updated the exterior of the property. The museum is only open Thursday through Sunday, 12-4, but if you can find some time to visit, you'll find it worth the stop and there is no cost to visit!
MoreThis is a beautiful facility and there were several displays when I went. It is not large, so you probably only need to budget 30 min to an hour to go through (longer if you like to linger with your art experience). The gift shop is nicely done.
