The institution was established in 1967 by the Burnaby Art Society, who partnered with the City of Burnaby to exhibit its collection in the publicly owned Fairacres Mansion. The association continued to manage the museum until 1998, when the municipal government of Burnaby assumed control of the museum's collection, operations and governance.
The museum's permanent collection holds more than 6,500 artworks. It is the only public art collection in Canada dedicated to works on paper.
