Today the home of Toronto’s first mayor and radical journalist William Lyon Mackenzie is a historic house museum open to the public. Ryerson University School of Interior Design students explore the concept of the historic house museum as a public space through a series of installations in the historic room settings. Their innovative interventions explore themes of feminism, storytelling and authenticity as students set out to answer the questions: How do we experience the past in a recreated setting?
