The Mendel Art Gallery was a major creative cultural centre in City Park, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
[4][5] It was endowed by Frederick "Fred" Salomon Mendel, a refugee from Nazism who founded Intercontinental Packers (now Mitchell's Gourmet Foods, a unit of Maple Leaf Foods) and announced in 1960 that in celebration of his 20th anniversary in Saskatoon, he would give the city money to establish a public art museum.
[1][5] On September 18, 2006, the gallery suffered smoke and water damage from an early morning fire in the loading dock area.
[9] In 2009, the Board of Trustees of the Mendel Art Gallery decided to replace the building, which had come to be too small and needed expensive upgrades,[10] with a larger facility on a different site.
[20] In early 2019 the Children's Discovery Museum was rebranded as the Nutrien Wonderhub[21] and opened in the old gallery's space in June 2019.
