The Association

The Alexander Graham Bell Museum Association (the Association) is a non-profit society that has a cooperating agreement with Parks Canada to operate the Museum Store and Tetra Café at the Museum. This includes a physical store within the Museum and an online store that launched in the Fall of 2018. The Museum Store supports and continues the mission of the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site (the Museum).

“The inventor is a man who looks around upon the world and is not contented with things as they are. He wants to improve whatever he sees, he wants to benefit the world; he is haunted by an idea. The spirit of invention possesses him, seeking materialization.” (AGB 1891) “The day will come when the man at the telephone will be able to see the distant person to whom he is speaking.”  (AGB in 1906)

The Alexander Graham Bell Museum Store is part of a network of stores across the world who have been established to support their parent institutions. Every purchase made in our Museum Store (onsite and online) supports the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site – Parks Canada (the Museum).  We believe that every product we carry will engage you in the legacy, interests and passions of Alexander and Mabel Bell.
