CBC Museum, Broadcasting heritage museum in downtown Toronto, Canada
The CBC Museum is a broadcasting museum in downtown Toronto, housed within the Canadian Broadcasting Centre. It brings together original recordings, photographs, and production objects that trace the story of Canadian radio and television across many decades.
The collection began in the CBC promotion department during the 1960s and grew steadily over the following decades. It became a standalone museum in 1994 when it was established within the Canadian Broadcasting Centre.
The space displays memorabilia from Canadian television productions and radio broadcasts that shaped the nation's media landscape. Walking through, you get a sense of how these programs became part of everyday life for Canadians across different generations.
The museum sits inside the Canadian Broadcasting Centre near the waterfront and is reachable by public transit without much difficulty. It is wheelchair accessible, and visitors can move through the space at their own pace without booking in advance.
Next to the main gallery, there is a small theater with around 40 seats built to look like an oversized wooden television set. Selected CBC programs are screened there, turning part of the visit into something closer to watching a show than reading a panel.
