Praise for The Museum Called Canada: 25 Rooms of Wonder
“The illustrations and photographs are wonderful, evoking a startling wealth of places and objects that could never grace a real museum...The Museum Called Canada is a magnificent undertaking splendidly executed. Canadians can now have their own national museum on their coffee table.”
—Quill & Quire starred review
“The Museum Called Canada is certainly one of the best-looking books produced in the country’s publishing history. Aside from the gorgeously photographed images worthy of Vogue magazine and their accompanying short, easily digestible texts reading like the smart sidebars of academic texts, the museum conceit infuses the book with a chic that is self-conscious without being annoying.”
