Myseum of Toronto and BLOCKS invite you to join us for Myseum on the Move: Main Feature!

Main Feature! engages teams of young and old in a car-free urban scavenger hunt, exploring how Toronto’s theatre history has framed the city’s constantly evolving communities. Main Feature! is a one-day adventure that explores cultural history through theatres, not only the variety of film genres but also design and urban navigation of our once thriving Cinema boom!

Using archival photos from the early 1900's, teams of two or more will have six hours to identify long-standing film theatre building locations in the here-and-now. If you are arriving by yourself we are more than happy to find you a teammate. Teams will visit locations throughout the city on foot, by public transit or bicycle to collect points by finding and photographing the building or location, and getting as close as possible to the footprint of the original photographer.

Teams will explore and re-imagine the city’s movie theatre, architecture and design, documenting how buildings from the past continue to shape communities, block by block. If possible we encourage cycling as a means of transport for this event. We see cycling as not only a necessary means of transport but as a way to engage with the environment and landscape in a meaningful way. Main Feature! is a wonderful opportunity for cycling enthusiasts to experience this great city on a whole new level and we hope you will join us!

There will also be prizes from some great local spots!
