Lawyer, writer, and environmental advocate M. Jane Fairburn is interested in the synergies between landscape, history, place, and people that together constitute the building blocks of culture. Her award-winning book Along the Shore: Rediscovering Toronto’s Waterfront Heritage pays close attention to the interplay among these elements and the natural world. Jane’s current project Moorlands examines our widening disconnection from the land and each other through the lens of her mother’s former family farm on the outskirts of Toronto, at the mouth of the Rouge River.

We are Toronto’s city museum. We offer experiences that tell the histories of Toronto. Enjoy our programming in our downtown exhibition space, throughout the city, and online.

Museum of Toronto is Getting Toronto, Together. We are made possible with the generous support of Diane Blake and Stephen Smith.
