About the Museum
The Textile Museum of Canada aims to inspire understanding of the human experience through textiles.
We are the only museum in Canada delivering programs and exhibitions dedicated solely to textile arts. The Museum ignites creativity, inspires wonder, and sparks conversation through the stories held within our global collection of textiles, and active engagement with contemporary art practices.
Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that the land on which the Textile Museum of Canada operates is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishinaabe, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat. It is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples. Through our activities we seek to create a space for people to share, learn, and celebrate the textile practices of today and long ago in the spirit of peace, friendship and respect.
The Museum’s exhibitions present the work of local, national, and international contemporary artists and often draw from the Museum’s collection. The Museum is an internationally renowned educational institution, recognized for the relevance and diversity of its exhibitions, innovative approaches to educational programs, and the significance and digital accessibility of its collection. We are located in the heart of downtown Toronto, in close proximity to St Patrick subway station, Toronto City Hall, Dundas Square, and the Art Gallery of Ontario.
