Dedicated to promoting an understanding of human identity through textiles, the Textile Museum of Canada (TMC) is a non-profit institution with a collection that spans nearly 2,000 years. Incorporated in 1975, the Museum exhibits and conserves more than 11,000 works from 200 countries and region. TMC’s collection celebrates cultural diversity and includes traditional fabrics, garments, carpets and related artifacts such as beadwork and basketry. Off-site visitors may consult Canadian Tapestry, a Web site created by the TMC where you can see thousands of works of art. Visit www.canadiantapestry.ca. Open seven days a week, the TMC is located behind the Metropolitan Hotel, steps from the St. Patrick subway station and a few blocks away from the Eaton Centre, Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto City Hall and the Bay Street Bus Terminal. The Museum offers themed shows based on our permanent collection and contemporary exhibitions of the work of Canadian and international artists.
