β β β β β Museum dedicated to textiles. Not my cup of tea, but I visited its Crosscurrents exhibition, the interaction between first Nations and settlers. Got a pass from the public library so got in for free. Some interesting works. All works were on one floor and about 4 rooms. A wealth of history in there, worth a look. Has a neat museum shop with lots of cool nicknacks.

β β β β β It was interesting and worth going.
However, for us, the price was high for the size of the exhibitions. It was 15 dollars per person. On Wednesday there's no entry fee, it is just a donation of how much you'd like to give so if you're looking into it, it's a good day to go. We agreed that 10 dollars is better for the entry fee if you compare it to other museums prices and what they offer.
Other than the price, the place was great. We'd recommend going up the stairs instead of taking the elevator if you can, it was quite noise and slightly scary.

β β β β β Went there for my art history final essay in March, this museum is amazing. Although it doesnβt have a large space like ROM or others, but all of the textiles that presented are adorable. They also have a small gift shop. I talked to the staff, she explained the history of the museum, how the museum works, etc. The staff is really nice and patient:)

β β β β β I love this small, intimate museum!
I always tell people to go here to see consistently well- curated exhibits of interesting textile artists as well as learn about and have a hands on experience with different fibres and fabrics.
It's the perfect size for a museum.
Not overwhelming!

β β β β β A beautifully curated museum featuring incredibly important thought provoking exhibits. Two floors currently honour the work of a Sikh artist, Jagdeep Raina, and Inuit artists among others. Was impressed to see the space provided for stories and heritage through this art form in a way that truly represents roots ancestry evolution perspective and where weβre going.
The use of mixed media (films projected, sound, artwork) really fed our senses.
Appreciated the second floor recycled textile area where you can purchase and dig for donated textile treasures or even donate your own. You can also try your hand at weaving at a small activity table which was fun.
Happy to see a wide range of offerings and books at the gift shop that reflect the art and roots of textiles.
The space is clean. Staff are lovely and welcoming. The museumβs location is tucked away off of busy Dundas and made it pleasant to access.
A visit here is perfect for an inspired cozy solo date or to be enjoyed with like minded company for conversation.

β β β β β I was very happy to go there because it was the first time I got to such a museum. There are several temporary exhibitions that can be viewed. I was in love with the interactive part where you could try different sewing techniques.
