In partnership with the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS), this temporary exhibition celebrates the 2025 Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductees — Dan Hill, Ginette Reno, Glass Tiger, and Loreena McKennitt.
Grammy and JUNO Award-winning Canadian songwriter Dan Hill is best known for his timeless classic "Sometimes When We Touch." Covered by countless artists – including Dolly Parton, who called it her “favorite song of all time” – the iconic ballad helped earn Hill an induction into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2021.
Over her 65-year career, Quebec icon Ginette Reno has recorded 42 albums, all achieving Gold or Platinum status, performed over 2,000 songs, and starred on the silver and small screens. Celebrated by Canadian, Quebec, and French governments, her enduring legacy is defined by authenticity, warmth, and artistry that transcends generations and borders.
Glass Tiger burst onto the scene with 14 Top 40 hits in five years, including the iconic “Don’t Forget Me (When I’m Gone)” and “Someday.” Grammy-nominated and five-time JUNO winners, they’ve sold five million albums and performed alongside legends like Tina Turner, Bryan Adams, and Cheap Trick.
Loreena McKennitt is a globally acclaimed artist whose genre-blending “eclectic Celtic” sound has sold over 14 million albums. With a vast discography and critical acclaim in over 40 countries, her music has earned Gold, Platinum, and Multi-Platinum certification across four continents.
The exhibit showcases photos, storytelling, and memorabilia from the four inductees. Highlights include a synthesizer and stage outfits from Glass Tiger, along with handwritten lyrics for “My Town,” signed by Rod Stewart. Also featured are a Montreal Canadiens jersey worn by Ginette Reno during multiple national anthem performances, along with Loreena McKennitt’s harp and the ornate mask worn in her “The Mummers’ Dance” music video.
Visitors can also get hands-on with two learn-to-play interactives, allowing fans to get lessons directly from this year’s inductees — acoustic guitar with Dan Hill and synthesizer with Sam Reid of Glass Tiger.
