Curator's Tour: 60 Years of Collecting

  • Canadian Automotive Museum 99 Simcoe Street South Central Oshawa, ON, L1H 4G7 (map)

Today, the Canadian Automotive Museum is home to the world's most significant collection of Canadian cars, but when the museum opened in 1963, the organizers needed to rent cars to fill out the displays. Over the course of 60 years the collection has grown and evolved into the world-class collection visitors can view today. Join curator Alexander Gates for a tour of the collection where as he explores how the collection of the Canadian Automotive Museum came together and what the future holds for collecting Canadian vehicles.
