Textile Museum of Canada

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Textile Museum of Canada, situated at 55 Centre Ave. Thanks to my Ontario Museum Association membership, I had the opportunity to enjoy free admission to this wonderful museum.Although the museum may appear small" at first glance

absolute pleasure visiting textile museum, the receptionist was super nice and friendly♥️, the museum has so many beautiful textiles and fabrics and i loved the cute little workstation they have for people to attempt fabric art

Such an amazing museum. Not expensive. Always has new exhibits on that are fabulous. Realllllly friendly staff who are happy to give you more details AND if you like to learn hands on or love crafts there are always a million options. You can learn to weave or sew or collage with fabric. It’s so much fun! Great spot to go with a girlfriend, chat and craft. (After you look at all the amazing pieces in the museum for inspiration!)

Really unfortunate that I let almost a whole decade go by without making multiple trips to this museum. I went for the first time while I was in school and forgot about it after I graduated! Glad I got to go back. It's a small space but looking forward to more exhibitions here. Would love to see more marketing on social media by this museum.

I enjoyed visiting this museum. There are collection of textiles from different parts of the world: China, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Mexico, Canada, Philippine, Ukraine. There are weaving loom that you can enjoy using it. Very friendly and nice staff of the museum teach you how to use it. The library is one of a kind. Different sort of unique books related to fabric, lace, rugs, knitting, embroidery… are collected. I loved the book that has information about fabulous Persian Rugs. In the third floor there is a “refuse” collection that some talented artists converted waste to beauty items. You should definitely go and visit it. I liked it

It is the unique museum. It is an amazing pace. Interesting and wonderful exhibitions. Great spaces with participating in the different master classes.Kind and attentive staff. Unique gift shop.

A very small museum with two main floors of exhibits and an interactive learning center. Compared to other museums in the area it did have much more thoughtful and informative text that went along with the textiles and artwork on display. The interactive learning center has looms, sowing machines, and a variety of fabric.

Wonderful experience! Friendly staff, organized and clean space, spacious, with accessibility. Gender neutral washrooms which is a huge plus! I chose the option of ‘do not recommend to buy tickets in advance’ as I went today without a ticket since I wasn’t sure when I would be there and it was optional. Wed nights are optional pay! :)Also, the Learning Hub looked very interesting and fun, too bad I had to leave. Next time I’ll be dabbling into the activities there. Lastly, cute little gift shop with reasonable pricing and local crafts. They also had books both in the gift shop and the library in the Learning Hub.

The textile museum is really a good place to visit, it did has lots of great works. And you can registered the workshop on its website, which I really recommended. Few days before, I joined the “introduction to batik” as a beginner with no experience, but finished with some art work that I haven’t thought of. More importantly, it offered me two hours to relax by freehand drawing. The location is good with lots of restaurants nearby. I would definitely visit again and hope to take more workshops there.
