Inspired by ground-breaking projects in Berlin, Valparaiso, Brasilia and The Bronx, the Dundas West Open Air Museum, can be enjoyed in person or explored virtually through the website: dundaswest.museum.

Like other contemporary museums, the visual art is enhanced periodically through out the year by music, film and other performance activations.

Spearheaded by the Little Portugal BIA Toronto, Creativo Arts Collective and Lula Music & Arts Centre the museum was developed with support from the City of Toronto’s Economic Development department & the STARTs program.

With the assistance of community partners, we are delighted to share the art and history of our culturally diverse area with cultural/art tourists from around the corner and around the globe!

This tour is made possible by the Little Portugal Toronto BIA.
