The Museum collects and exhibits artifacts and archival material related to the cultural heritage of the Serbian people.
In 1975, the idea of a Serbian Museum was initiated. The Serbian Heritage Women's Society undertook the first collection of artifacts and archival materials from the Serbian community. In 1976, they displayed at the Hiram Walker Historical Museum, now Windsor's Community Museum, for four months. The exhibit generated much interest among the general public and Serbian community. A permanent museum then became the new goal for the Serbian Heritage Women's Society.
They accomplished this goal in 1987. The support came from the Government of Ontario through a grant for the first necessary display equipment. Serbian businessmen and generous individuals donated office furniture and other useful items.
We have a small gift shop including icons, jewellery, cards, art, bags and other Serbian items.
