No calls please. The Museum provides an accessible 9,000-artifact collection and research facility designed to promote an understanding of the material cultures of traditional societies. It is the foremost museum in Canada specializing in textiles, and a primary resource and research centre for the study of the history, techniques, traditions and cultural significance of contemporary, historic and ethnographic textiles. The Museum s public programming policy is guided by its mission statement and by the vision of the original founders to make the study and experience of textiles available to as wide an audience as possible. The museum develops and presents curated exhibitions of the work of contemporary artists, artifacts from its collection, loans from other institutions and private collections.
Comprehensive programs augment the exhibitions.
