Imagine a new museum experience that will connect you to the Soundtrack of Your Life – and help you share it – like never before!

Recorded music is the art form that touches the most people, everywhere, everyday.

Virtually everyone listens to recorded music, at every stage of life, and across every demographic and cultural group.

Music is a critical foundation of all people, cultures and languages.

CMRMC will celebrate Canada’s role in becoming one of the world’s leading producer of recorded music talent over the past 40 years, inspiring new generations of creative leaders.

An interactive multisensory experience – eyes in, ears in, hearts in.

A part of our education exploring technology, design, business history, humanities, the visual arts, and of course, music in every form.

A beautiful place that will generate pride, confidence, understanding, connection, and inspiration.

Experiential and fun! Get ready for the tears and the laughs!

CMRMC will create a cultural asset of national significance that can be shared, heard, told, seen, experienced in engaging ways…

and stories that will otherwise be lost without the CMRMC will be preserved!

The Opportunity

The foundation for the Canadian Museum of Recorded Music & Culture has already been built.

A collection gifted to CMRMC by our Chair includes over 100,000 unique and pristine vinyl records, many phonographs and stereos, large quantities of promotional materials like photographs, catalogs, posters, magazines, books and colorful collectables; all organized in a powerful, unique and highly accessible database.

This is the Cornerstone Collection that CMRMC will now built out to include musical treasures from the birth of recorded music in the late 19th century to the present day.

CMRMC will collect, preserve, share, and celebrate our nation’s role in the world’s most popular art form.

CMRMC will preserve, build on and share the world’s most extensive, most organized and most accessible recorded music collection to inform and inspire visitors from all over Canada and the world.

If you share our vision and see the importance of this transformational project in Canada, then please join us! We need your help.
