Website creates an interactive domain for Toronto history
Launched this week, The Toronto Museum Project online (TMp Online) is a virtual exhibit where artifacts are used to explore stories and ideas tied to Toronto's past, present and future. This interactive website weaves 100 artifacts, 100 Torontonians, 100 stories and 100 exhibit ideas into an entirely new way of exploring Toronto's history.
One-hundred Torontonians of diverse backgrounds were invited to react to these artifacts by sharing their personal stories that were inspired by viewing them. A number of stories were provided by prominent Toronto politicians, artists, community members and cultural figures.
TMp Online partners include Ecentricarts, York University's Augmented Reality Lab, Brookview Middle School and The Toronto Star. The City of Toronto's Museum Services is responsible for the Toronto Museum Project.
