Coming from Europe, more or less everything in Canada seemed huge to me. This was the exception. The textile museum is TINY, and the exhibition sparse, so you get to see very little for the ticket price. When I was there, much space was taken by a dreadful exhibition of "natural fabrics" (=various forms of straw), much of which was,... More

If I had known it was as easy as throwing a few rugs on the wall and charging $15 to enter I would have done this at home and called it a museum. We were charged half price as only one floor was open. Even this was too much. I can't begin to say how bad and a waste of... More

The Textile Museum was mostly of interest to my wife. Unfortunately it was largely closed for change of exhibits when we went. We were offered a free entry when it had been completed, but since we live 3000 miles away that was not much use. The exhibits on show were interesting and the shop was excellent. Best to check the... More

The day we went to the Textile Museum of Canada there was a very interesting display. The format was supposed to show the diversity of textile in art forms and the connections between art and fabric. There were a couple of displays that I didn't understand the connections but others were wonderfully clear. There were textiles displayed from many areas... More

I enjoyed by visit, but found the collection (or what was on display) small, especially in comparison to the entrance fee, which I found to be rather large.

Great items and exhibits. This is a lesser known museum, and it's never crowded which is a great bonus. I would not recommend this for kids.

After a walk in Queen's Park we were slightly close to this little museum and on Wednesday it was Pay what You can and we chose to visit it to occupy our time. It was somehow interesting and they have some activities regarding all sorts of textiles and fabrics. It is quite well organised and they have a slightly large... More

The textile museum is off the beaten track -- small with always a new exhibit. They display historical textiles (rugs, quilts for example) regularly with lots of appealing educational information. It has one of the best gift shops with local artist textiles, children's gifts, clothing, and lots of historical and how-to books.

I make a point to visit this museum every time I go to Toronto. This time the exhibit was made up of garments created of African Fabric for a fundraiser for the Steven Lewis Foundation (for Aids). The Canadian Designers created marvellous, innovative, sometimes downright strange outfits in brilliant colours and patterns. A film "Hope at the Grassroots" about the... More
