Current Exhibition
Launched on May 16th, 2024, "Reading Abbott" explores both what Maude Abbott read and ways in which we can "read" her life story. While many publications on the famous doctor and museum curator have focused on the barriers she faced in a male-dominated profession, this exhibition places Abbott among her favourite authors, locations, and texts. Curated by the SSoM member and architectural historian Annmarie Adams, “Reading Abbott” invites feminist and spatial readings of Abbott's legacy.
