Art gallery and local history museum, as well as the archives for Peel Region, where Brampton is located. Partly located in a former 1800s jail (with three preserved jail cells and exhibits of prisoner and staff memorabilia), and partially within the old Land Registry Building.
The Peel Art Gallery, Museum and Archives (PAMA) is a museum, art gallery, and archives for the Regional Municipality of Peel and are located in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. Previously, it was the Peel Heritage Complex. Its facilities were originally the Peel County Courthouse, Brampton Jail, a land registry office, and a county administration building. It is opposite Gage Park and Brampton City Hall.
