At the beginning of 2018, Agricultural Digest published an article predicting the top places to travel in 2018. Toronto, Canada appeared among the various locations that made the list. This is not a surprise because Toronto is the top place to travel if you are going to go to Canada. The city of Toronto website reports that 40 million tourists came to Toronto in 2015 alone. These tourists mainly come for the city’s festivals, parks, shopping, sports teams, music and more. With several hundred music and event venues, thousands of popular restaurants, and several thousand more lodging options, the city is well equipped to handle and entertain the numerous visitors it sees each year. But, Agricultural Digest suggests that this year Toronto will be one of the top places to travel for a new reason. This year, Toronto is expected to see even more tourists because of The Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto Canada.
The Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto Canada was originally founded in 1999 as The Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art. The name of the Museum was only recently changed to its current name in 2016. It has been located in downtown Toronto since 2005, when it moved into a building on Queen Street West. The Museum has been a large part of the city since then. Its official website reports that it has featured more than 1,100 works that have been viewed annually by over 40,000 visitors. The artists featured in the Museum are not strictly Canadian, international artists have had pieces and exhibitions in the museum as well. This has opened Toronto’s art scene, and the city as a whole, up to the global art community.
However, their lease for the building on Queen Street West has been coming to a close in recent years, which has led to the Museum’s decision to move to a new, larger location. The Museum has announced that it is set to move into a 55,000 square foot space in the Sterling Road Automotive Tower in Junction Triangle. It will open in the spring of 2018. This move is expected to help the Museum grow even more and launch them further into the global art world. As reflected in the Agricultural Digest article, it is also predicted to bring even more traffic to the city of Toronto in the coming months.
