Perspectives 162: Snow (07/18): Snow in August!  — 1 week ago

Worth visiting!

These were two very cool interactive pieces of art. The first was a panorama of Antarctica that you could walk inside and sit down in. I swear it was colder in there than it was in the rest of the museum! I had a chat with the museum guide and we couldn’t decide if it was psychological or a result of the air vents being relatively close to it.

The second was a room full of fake snow that you could actually walk around in, provided you took your shoes off first. It was dangerously slippery but a fun experience.

A tip I have about this place  — 2 years ago

This museum is across the street from the MFA (Museum of Fine Arts) and is completely free. CAMH does not collect; in other words, it has revolving exhibitions all year round. So if you visit frequently you’ll find something new several times a year. You can find a browsing library and sitting area in the basement, where there’s information about other galleries and exhibitions, as well as computers.
