This downtown Toronto museum is devoted entirely to textiles, collecting fabrics, garments, carpets, and related objects from cultures around the world. Its permanent collection spans thousands of pieces representing weaving, dyeing, and needlework traditions across many centuries and continents. Rotating exhibitions pair historic material with contemporary fiber art, examining craft, trade, and identity. As one of the few institutions of its kind in North America, it offers a specialized view of an art form often overlooked.
