ART AT BAYCREST
The halls and rooms of Baycrest are adorned with one of the
finest art collections in Toronto, thanks to the generosity of many
kind donors. In addition, two galleries display curated works of
art: The Art Space near the Bathurst Street entrance and the
Ronald and Nancy Kalifer Culture Hub in the Winter Garden.
The Baycrest art collection awakens memories, encourages
dialogue and inspires the sharing of ideas. It beautifies common
areas and living spaces for residents and visitors alike and
supports interactive, educational experiences for older adults.
MORRIS AND SALLY JUSTEIN HERITAGE MUSEUM
Located on the main floor between the Kimel Family Building
and the Baycrest Hospital, the museum is an oasis of calm on the
Baycrest campus where visitors can learn about Judaic history
and tradition.
In 2015, Baycrest launched the 10-year Kalifer Family Oral History
and Legacy Project, which includes a museum-on-wheels cart
that transports artifacts to resident floors. The accompanying
technology helps to digitize the personal stories that unfold from
interaction and reminiscing with these artifacts. The videos are
displayed on a screen beside the museum.
Learn more about the history of Baycrest at the exhibit
A Century
of Care,
which celebrates milestones from 1918 to 2018.
