Media reviews

"The illustrations and photographs are wonderful, evoking a startling wealth of places and objects that could never grace a real museum...The Museum Called Canada is a magnificent undertaking splendidly executed. Canadians can now have their own national museum on their coffee table.”
—John Wilson, Quill & Quire starred review

“Try to imagine the perfect museum with all the best artifacts of all the best museums in Canada.”
Times Colonist (Victoria)

The Museum Called Canada is an ingeniously designed, thoroughly researched book that doesn’t overwhelm, even at 700-plus pages. Gray’s mini-essays are warm and human, never drifting into windy abstraction.”
Saturday Night

The Museum Called Canada is certainly one of the best-looking books produced in the country’s publishing history. Aside from the gorgeously photographed images worthy of Vogue magazine and their accompanying short, easily digestible texts reading like the smart sidebars of academis texts, the museum conceit infuses the book with a chic that is self-conscious without being annoying.”
