Pop-Up Exhibit: Home at Spadina Museum

Details

Discover how homes shape identity through the Austin family story and contemporary art at Spadina Museum. Reimagine history, reframe home.

“Home at Spadina Museum” considers how people are influenced by their home. We look at those who make it a home and those who live in it are shaped by domestic spaces. Through interpretation of the Austin family and into contemporary art, we will analyze what makes a home. Re-Imagining the Historic House Museum: A Workplace for Women.

Step into “Home at Spadina Museum” and explore how homes are shaped by the people who live and work in them. From the Austin family to contemporary art, discover untold stories of women’s labour, care, and community. Reimagine the historic house as both a home and a workplace.

As you explore the exhibition, we invite you to reflect: "What does home mean to you?"

We are grateful to our community partners, Augusto Bitter and the Women’s Art Association of Canada.
