10 Museums in West End That You Shouldn't Miss
We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 38 reviews
The MZTV Museum and Archive seeks to protect, preserve and promote the Receiving Instruments of Television History. Whereas other North American Museums of Broadcasting feature Programs, ours is unique in its focus on the History of the Technology, as well as on the Sets Themselves. Together with related original papers, discs, books, magazines, toys and other ephemera the collection offers some 10,000 objects to scholars and students as well as the general public. The Museum’s mandate is to exhibit the world’s most comprehensive collection of North American Television Receivers for the formative fifty-year period from the 1920s to the 1970s. The MZTV Museum also aims to tell the story of the medium and to contribute to the understanding of the impact of television on the people who watch it.

As always, as a resident of the city, I find gems like this wonderful museum only when I become a "tourist" myself. What an incredible collection of Television's history is to be found at the MZTV Museum of Television. I knew that Felix the Cat was the first image shown on North American broadcasting, but to see the actual figurine of Felix, that was used in 1928, was incredible! Also on display, the 1939 New York Worlds' Fair RCA Phantom Teleceiver, in its original lucite cabinet is to step back 80 years and marvel at the new technology that so many marveled at in a day when anything seemed possible. If you've ever turned on a TV set, you owe it to yourself to see what came before modern television, the inventors, the pioneers, and the works of art that were the beginnings of what we often take for granted. Moses Znaimer, a broadcast pioneer in his own right has collected and has put on display this wonderful look back at all things of the airwaves. I recommend this museum to all, and I will return to marvel again at this marvelous collection.
