The Goldspink Collection came to the Niagara Falls History Museum in the summer of 2023 upon the closing of the TAG Art Gallery. Comprised of historically significant Niagara Falls related prints, watercolours, and pencil drawings, this large-scale donation is a generous gift from brothers Tom and Frank Goldspink.

The Goldspink Collection: An Exhibition of Niagara Falls will highlight the iconic Niagara Falls through the lens of artists and travellers over the span of more than 250 years. The show features scenes of Niagara Falls from the late-17^th to mid-20^th century. Many of the pieces were collected from individuals whose ancestors served in the British military in Niagara.

The Museum is proud to house this collection in a public institution where our community will have access for generations to come.
