À propos

Building on a multi-year research project, our newest exhibition will celebrate the lives of 52 women who have shaped Toronto as we know it.

Spanning from the 1800s until today, this exhibition shines a spotlight on the change-makers, agitators, and revolutionaries within Toronto’s 52%. While some of these women’s stories are well known, others have gone relatively untold until today.

See how many names you are familiar to you — step into their shoes, learn their stories and discover the ways they have transformed Toronto.

The 52: Stories of Women Who Transformed Toronto is curated across five themes: science, arts and culture, politics, sport, and civic life. To tell these stories, this exhibition features archival photographs, historic artifacts, and creative monologues written by 24 award-winning Canadian playwrights.

The exhibition runs everyday from Wednesday to Saturday, 12pm to 6pm, between September 19 – October 12.
