In light of recent transformations to the city of Toronto’s museum landscape, with the new ROM crystal, Art Gallery of Ontario, Gardiner Museum, and the Aga Khan Foundation for Islamic Art, this international symposium will address ideas of new museography, the art of designing exhibitions, in the contemporary museum.
The John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design with the Art Gallery of Ontario will host curators, designers, architects, and museographers from Europe and North America to debate positions on the art of display and the shifting status of its object.
