Not a fully accessible building. Entrance at 266 McDermot has seven steps in the lobby, where a portion of the exhibit is displayed. Arthur Street has a ramp entrance.
Architecture has long been a prominent feature of comics. The comics page resembles the grid of a modern building, as each panel offers a window into the characters' lives. Join us in looking at how contemporary Canadian cartoonists are drawing cities, streets, and buildings, exploring architecture as spaces we inhabit and as spaces that inhabit us.
