Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto Canada

It was a pity that it was only on the 3rd floor.
It's a small size, so you can watch it in less than an hour. Quite a walk from the station
Indeed, every Friday night is free, so make sure to make a reservation on the website.

Contemporary art museum on 3 floors featuring a rotation of exhibits from contemporary artists. It only takes about 60-90 minutes to walk the entire exhibition. It's a bit out of the way, and the area lacks good parking. I wouldn't make it a must-see.

After trying to find the building (so much construction blocking nearby roads and access ways to the Toronto Railpath) I finally found this vast beautiful building. So huge, and also so empty. I went through the whole place in 5 minutes. I can't believe people ask for money for this. I am a huge art supporter, but when art is so contemporary that it is invisible? What is the point? Numerous staff, all friendly, but bored as hell doing nothing (probably shocked that people come in at all), and would say 'do no touch' for the maybe one abstract model made out of plaster (this is not meant to be a dig at the staff). There were only 3 floors open to the public and a staircase. What is the rest of the huge building being used for? I can't say. I can think of many more important things to use this space for.

We should not support such pretentious "artwork" if you call it that for what? To call ourselves cultured or sophisticated? We need to use money and donor support for better causes (take a pick, so many to choose from). Any pros? If the building was open, you could explore it, maybe some history to go along with that would be interesting (could be part of a Toronto Open Doors event). There is an overpriced coffee shop that is open to the public on the main floor (seems nice as any overpriced place would be), and there is a brewery next door. Go get yourself some craft beer.

*The only reason I went with my child was because I got a free pass from the library (which is a great system, but this pass should come with a warning to prevent unhappy children wasting their play time here).

I wouldn’t recommend this place. There is only stuff from one or two artists. There are only a few things to look at and I expected to see more. After 20 minutes you have looked at everything. It’s a complete waste of time and money.

Can karaoke be considered contemporary art? Loud and grinding noise is just a nuisance, can’t the museum hear? Completely ruined the lovely setting and the delights of coffee shop on G/F.

Today’s exhibits were a major disappointment in an otherwise small museum.

Parking is an issue as the official website rightly reminded us

There’s barely any parking around this area except for a lot across which is $20 flat and says it’s private property but has the museums address?
It was free which was fine but there were maybe 4-5 exhibits in three floors. We saw it in under 1 hour. The exhibits were terrible. I would have been better off buying tickets to AGO or going to an independent gallery. Unless you live in the area and it’s convenient to get here by ttc- I would not recommend going.

This is a nice gallery. It's a bit small but tickets are priced accordingly. I don't know I'd go out of my way for it but it was nice to see the kind of contemporary art that isn't always offered at the AGO.

Doesn't have too much to show, I would say just around five exhibits for all, and most of the art are photos and not the real things. I completed the "visit" in just 15 minutes.

I'd like to see updates to the space and science areas, there just isn't enough if at all!

Interesting Exhibitions in a renovated industrial building in an up coming area of the city. At the main floor you can find a wonderful cafe called Forno Cultura.

They have unique contemporary art exhibitions and displays. May not fit into some people's standard, but hey, it's Contemporary art, subject to different opinions and preference.

The nestle thing outside actually smells like kitkats so much.thank u to the dude that let me in free because im only 18 for a week haha.try the mocha at moca

Honestly, almost nothing to see. Sadly.

Good thing I went there on a FREE FRIDAY pass.

An interesting space with lovely pieces of contemporary art. Will visit again when a new exhibit rotates in.

A space of great artistic contributions and eclectic atmosphere. Where you will have a very interesting perspective and a meditation on time.

Disappointingly small, not enough artists represented. Cafe and free karaoke room were worth the visit. The building itself has some great industrial features, even in the bathroom.

Excellent exhibit of photo and video work of Shirin Neshat on the second floor. Third floor not even worth visiting. Can you take the licorice?

It was Shirin Neshat's exhibition in this place when we visited it. Very nice place, amazing exhibition and great price. Waiting to see next exhibition there!

I agree with the low reviews here. The place has a lot of potential but the curation is unimpressive. I left feeling less inspired, sadly.

Amazing temporary exhibits. Loved the Shirin Neshats. They were so kind and helpful bandaging my knee, which I'd bashed up at Kensington market just before. Cool neighbourhood too. We visited during the Biennial, art all over the city for a month: heaven!

Very small place with limited contemporary art display. Went in with Canoo app free admission. Otherwise not worth to buy the ticket.
