overview : The only museum in Canada exclusively devoted to the collection, exhibition and documentation of textiles from around the world. - Incorporated in 1975, The Textile Museum of Canada first presented its collection in a very modest room in Toronto's Mirvish Village. In 1989, we celebrated the opening of our spacious new quarters at 55 Centre Avenue, located near the St. Patrick subway station.
collections : The Museum has gained international recognition for its collection, now numbering over 10,000 items, which includes fabrics, carpets, quilts, garments, ceremonial objects and other artifacts from around the world. These historic and ethnographic works of great beauty give insight into the cultures and individual lives of the people who made them. This unsurpassed collection hails from Canada, India, Pakistan, Africa, China, Japan, South East and Central Asia, South and Central America, Europe and the Pacific.
