Museums

m1.jpgLocated in the CHUM-CityTV building, this museum is dedicated to the history of TV as a 20th-century phenomenon. The brainstorm of Canadian media mogul Moses Znaimer, the museum is a non-profit organization which has evolved from a personal collection to more than 250 items of historical significance: from the mechanical scanning discs of the 1920s to the solid-state electronics of the 1970s. Visitors can share memories of how television affected them—some of these are added to the exhibit. The museum also serves as a resource centre for media students and scholars.
