Welcome to the
A living tapestry of movement, memory, and meaning. Across time and space.
Humanity is shaped by movement – of people, dreams, and histories. Migration lives in every family, every culture, and every soul seeking home. To celebrate migration is to honour our shared humanity.
One humanity. What moves one moves us all.
One story at a time.
The Gallery of Human Migration recognizes the importance of First Nations as a foundational part of Canadian society, as the original inhabitants of Canada present before the arrival of colonizers.
Furthermore, it acknowledges the importance of reflecting upon the problematic history of the relationship between First Nations and the Catholic and Anglican Churches.
The Huron-Wendat First Nation awarded the Gallery of Human Migration the Eagle Feather in recognition of President Rocco Maragna’s dedication and active participation in emphasizing the relevance of Canadian First Nations. For several years, the Gallery has been in dialogue with the Vatican Museums about the return of artistic works belonging to Canada’s indigenous peoples that have been kept in the Vatican Museums’ underground archives.

A cornerstone of the Gallery’s mission, the Stories Collection is a growing digital collection of personal migration experiences shared by people around the world.
Help us to weave this living record of movement, memory, and human connection.
Migration connects us all. From personal journeys to global shifts, the stories we hold, and share, shape how we see the world and one another. Here is where stories of migration come alive – stories of courage, love, and change.
You have the power to make the world kinder, one story at a time.
Our Blog, what we call From The Gallery, is where we foster our understanding and inspire empathy. It features reflective essays, project updates, documentaries, news, and behind-the-scenes content from the Gallery of Human Migration team and contributors.
From public radio to community sponsorship, from architectural mentorship to literary preservation, the projects, since our founding as a registered charity in 2003, reflect our enduring commitment to illuminating the lived experience of migration in all its forms.
