I recently had the opportunity to visit the Myseum of Toronto, and I must say, the name itself is intriguing and captivating. Upon arriving at the location, I discovered that this museum is actually a digital experience rather than a physical one. It operates in temporary spaces, such as its current location in the 401 building, hosting special exhibitions for a limited period of time. Although the museum may be small in size and digital in nature, it offers a wealth of interactive and informative exhibitions that are sure to captivate visitors. I was pleasantly surprised by the range of experiences they provide. From exploring the history of TV shows to engaging with videos, audio installations, and hands-on art and craft activities, the Myseum of Toronto offers a unique and engaging way to delve into various aspects of Toronto's culture and heritage. If you find yourself in downtown Toronto, I highly recommend paying a visit to this museum. Despite its digital format, it provides a rich and immersive experience that showcases the city's vibrant history and cultural significance. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to assist and provide insights into the exhibits. While the Myseum of Toronto may not have a permanent physical location, its temporary presence and ever-changing exhibitions make each visit a fresh and exciting experience. Whether you are a local resident or a visitor to the city, this museum offers a unique perspective on Toronto's cultural heritage that is not to be missed.

Interesting for people who grew up in the 1970's to 1990's.....but this is a rather quick stop. What I would suggest is to set the 401 RICHMOND as a COMPLETE destination and NOT just this museum. Check the opening hours as this place is (strangely during the summer tourist season) closed on the weekends A great effort for nostalgia with some great artifacts....but a lot of written history to read. Many things parts of the exhibit are available to listen to with headphones and some hands-on materials and games for the young people ...but I am still somewhat hesitant in this post-COVID era with all this accessible material. Parents might want o bring sterile wipes with them. There are some terrific stores on the main floor and interesting art galleries on the floors above.

We saw the Ten of Toronto exhibition here (on until May 2023). It was incredible! We’re tourists in the city, and we’ve been searching for a social history of the people of the city, who lives and lived here and what they got up to. This was exactly what we were looking for. It was so informative, and I loved the layout of the exhibit. I wish it was a permanent exhibition, as we haven’t found anything like this in the city. My only request would be a laminated map that visitors could look at as they go around the exhibit to visualise how the spaces overlap - as tourists we don’t the neighbourhoods well enough! Thank you so much for finally giving some Torontonian social history!!

Interactive, yes. Waste of time, also yes. Thankfully we were in the neighborhood so we didn’t have to go too far out of our way to visit. From the web site “showcase the history, spaces, culture(s), architecture, and the people, that represent Toronto’s unique place in the world.” Instead it’s just four simple displays in a tiny room. Three where you write out your thoughts on pieces of paper and either stick it on a map, into a paper machete heart, or in an envelope. The other is a poll on an iPad about what you like about Toronto. No history, culture, etc. Had a much better experience at Mackenzie House (even with the main house closed due to water damage).

This spot is so unique and unlike any other museum in the city. It shared local histories of Toronto and has unique exhibits throughout the year. This season they have a Canadian pop culture exhibit called Mr. Dress Up to Degrassi. It features a tribute to popular kids television shows aired from the 1950s to 1990s. The exhibit will have extended hours for Doors Open. It’s pretty centrally located downtown with plenty of parking and transit nearby. Make sure to check it out!

Visited today for a trivia night, and had a blast! A humble space but they packed it full of interesting exhibits: the space was presenting a history of local TV when I attended and they had a ton of little artifacts and a huge number of preserved media shown on screens. Between the fun exhibits, friendly staff, and pay-what-you-can entry, it's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

From the moment I stepped foot into this space I was thrown right back into my childhood. Talk about nostalgia. It made this 50 year old feel 5 for a few hours. We sat and made a puppet for like 2 hours and shared lots of laughs and just being in the moment. I enjoyed it so much. Such a great place. Do yourself a favor and visit!!

The Toronto TV exhibit wasn’t huge but fascinating, creatively presented, and had enough things to keep kids as well as adults amused. And the person working there was so friendly and helpful.

Great museum with wide appeal of exhibits. Please follow instructions on their website to find the museum as it can be a challenge. You will be delighted by what you find. One of Toronto's hidden treasures.

Went to see a really neat exhibition about Canadian public TV. Small space, but they use it very well.

So much nostalgia in one visit. If you were any kind of latchkey kid in the 90s or 80s like me, you'll remember this exhibit fondly.
