Exclusively for Members
Enjoy an exclusive Member viewing of Quilts: Made in Canada on Friday, June 28, 2024, from 10:00 am to 5:30 pm. Welcome remarks by Arlene Gehmacher, L.R. Wilson Curator of Canadian Art & Culture, will take place at 11:00 am inside the exhibition on Level 3, Third Floor Centre Block.
From the permanent collections at ROM comes a new exhibition highlighting some of the most visually intoxicating examples of artistry, community, and sustainability made in Canada: quilts.
Quilts are repositories of past and present lives. Exquisitely patterned and meticulously stitched, they hold the interwoven legacies of home and family. The exhibition features rarely displayed Canadian-made quilts dating from the 1850s to the present day and showcases a range of designs from utility quilts constructed from recycled materials for warmth and comfort to stunning examples created to mark life-changing events. Made by individuals and communities, each quilt unlocks unique stories about makers, materials, composition, construction, and the shared histories of those who made it.
