The Museums of Mississauga are pleased to invite you to the reopening of Adamson Estate as a vibrant cultural space managed by the City of Mississauga. This historic site will host meaningful, high-quality, Mississauga-focused exhibitions designed to celebrate our city’s heritage, foster civic pride, and deepen residents’ sense of belonging.
To mark this occasion, we are honoured to present A History Exposed: The Enslavement of Black People in Canada, on exclusive loan from the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21. Developed with Dr. Afua Cooper and in partnership with the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia, this exhibition will tour nationally for the next four years—making Adamson Estate its only stop in the GTA.
Alongside this groundbreaking exhibition, the Museums of Mississauga have curated a companion exhibit on Mississauga’s Black History, spotlighting the city’s founding Black families and their remarkable contributions—stories that until recently have remained largely untold.
We hope you will join us in celebrating this important milestone for Mississauga.
