For visitors seeking to celebrate Canadian craft and design excellence, feature exhibition Canadian Modern, offers a new perspective on this rich legacy by presenting 100 innovative and iconic examples from ROM collections – from fashion to electronics to furniture.

Visitors will also enjoy the exhibitions:

  • TUSARNITUT! Music Born of the Cold, invites visitors to discover the breadth and diversity of Inuit musical expression, through art, drum dancing and throat singing. 
  • And Noelle Hamlyn: Lifers, an art installation featuring 20 repurposed and retailored life jackets, hand-crafted by the artist from reclaimed and discarded garments to draw attention to fashion’s role in the current environmental crisis.
