A Break from Tours this May
500 Capp Street will be closed for the month of May as we prepare the house for an upcoming exhibition, and give our staff much needed time to research, organize, make repairs and work on projects. We value the internal workings needed by our staff to stay nurtured and inspired. We will re-open June 3rd, 2023. Until then!
