Ryerson Image Centre, Photography art museum in central Toronto, Canada

The Image Centre is a photography museum at Gould and Bond Streets on the Toronto Metropolitan University campus, sharing its renovated former warehouse with the School of Image Arts. Toronto architect Donald Schmitt of Diamond and Schmitt Architects designed the building, which opened on September 29, 2012 and holds three public gallery spaces, a glassed-in entrance colonnade with the Salah J. Bachir New Media Wall, a research centre and a climate-controlled vault.

The centre was established in 2012 and built around the mission of preserving and displaying important photographic archives. Its creation marked a commitment to making photography history accessible to the public.

The centre presents the Black Star Collection, a major archive of photographs spanning decades of photojournalism history. Visitors can explore visual documentation that shows how photography shaped the way important events were reported and remembered.

In March 2015 the centre acquired Berenice Abbott's archive, comprising more than 6,000 photographs and 7,000 negatives. Abbott is known for documenting New York's changing streets and architecture from the 1930s onward. The material joined the Black Star Collection in the climate-controlled vault.
