Saturday, October 1 is Nuit Blanche Toronto!
This year for the city’s all-night contemporary art festival, Campbell House is proud to host Transfiguration by Bill Viola, part of And The Transformation Reveals, curated by Camille Hong Xin.
Join us from sunset to sunrise for this very special exhibition!
Due to a previously booked special event and private viewing – the exhibition Post-Tohoku will not be available for public viewing Friday, June 3.
Come see our new exhibition The Ward: Representations and Realities, 1890-1950, part of the Myseum of Toronto’s Intersections Festival. This exhibition features photographs and artefacts from Toronto’s St. John’s Ward neighbourhood and explores the story of Toronto’s largest immigrant slum, and how its representations often differed with realities in the neighborhood.
This exhibition has been made possible by the Myseum of Toronto and the Faculty of Information at the University of Toronto.
The exhibition runs from March 16-April 23. Entry to view the exhibition is free.
Tickets for WAR Flowers – A Touring Art Exhibition are on sale now.
WAR Flowers opened at Campbell House Museum on January 24. Please note that due to longer-than-anticipated shipping time to the exposition’s next stop, in Vimy, France, our new closing date at Campbell House Museum is now March 16 (not March 25).
During the run of WAR Flowers, Campbell House Museum will be open Mon-Fri, 9:30 am to 4:30 pm, and Sat/Sun, 12 to 4:30 pm.
The exhibition is included in the $10 admission charge to the museum.

About WAR Flowers:
During the First World War, Canadian soldier George Stephen Cantlie plucked flowers from the fields and gardens of war-torn Europe and sent them home to his baby daughter Celia in Montréal.
One hundred years later, his touching ritual has provided the inspiration for this innovative multi-sensory exhibit.
WAR Flowers examines human nature in wartime through artistic representations that combine Cantlie’s letters and pressed flowers with original scents, crystal sculptures and portraits of 10 Canadians directly involved in the First World War.
The WAR Flowers exhibition is a production of Reford Gardens. This project has been made possible by the Government of Canada.
Campbell House has a new look this week for Scotiabank Nuit Blanche on Saturday, October 3rd from 7 am to 7 pm! Campbell House is hosting a special contemporary art project Campbell’s House: Your Eye Inside Out by JR as part of his Black and White Night exhibition. The project will be visible at night until October 12.
