WATER FOR LIFE
International Art Exhibit
Opening May 12, 2018

Water for Life is the newest exhibit for the City of Niagara Falls Museums. The exhibition opens on May 12 and features 37 artists from 18 countries, displaying their works with a focus on the theme of water and the fact that water is the essence of life. These distinguished artists were selected based on their recognition by international art critics and their award-winning works. The Niagara Falls Museums are very excited to be hosting this interesting exhibition this summer.

Water for Life opens to the public on Saturday, May 12, 2018 at the Niagara Falls History Museum, 5810 Ferry Street, and runs until Sunday, September 9, 2018.

“The Last Stand”
The time has come; all things must end. This place has been in possession of the family for generations; but it's in danger of slipping through their fingers...unless you can help save it.

We are excited to welcome back the crew from Live History back to the Battle Ground Hotel Museum on May 26^th & 27^th for 7 shows. This is a great way to explore local history and have fun. Let the team guide you through “The Last Stand” and if you are successful in finding the treasure in time, you may be able to save history. Call the museum for tickets ($10/person).

Battle Ground Hotel Museum is located at 6137 Lundy’s Lane, Niagara Falls

Free Admission every Thursday night from 5 - 9 p.m. Make us a habit.
