The Morris and Sally Justein Heritage Museum

Visit a museum without leaving the site

The Baycrest Heritage Museum, located on the main floor of Baycrest near Bathurst Street, provides an enjoyable and accessible cultural experience for families and clients. Please feel free to come by with your loved one and enjoy our exhibits and collections.

The Morris and Sally Justein Heritage Museum presents Judaica exhibits designed especially for Baycrest’s elderly clients. Each year the museum also welcomes hundreds of visitors from the community.

Our museum is a place for people of all ages to discover and enjoy the history and beauty of Judaic heritage.

At Baycrest, we believe cultural programs are essential for seniors living in residential facilities because they create an enriched, stimulating environment and help clients maintain a connection to their life-long traditions. The museum’s permanent Judaica collection (numbering more than 900 items) preserves Jewish treasures for years to come, to be enjoyed and admired by future generations.

Also on display, in the Apotex lobby, is the museum's outstanding collection of Chanukah menorahs.

The museum’s staff and volunteers also take Judaica onto the floors of the Hospital and Home to be used in client discussion groups. Seeing familiar objects helps stimulate memories and reminiscing, which is a very important activity for the elderly.

Funds, loans of items for special exhibits and donations to the permanent collection are all greatly appreciated.

The museum is located on the ground floor near the Bathurst Street entrance.

Fee: none

For further information or to arrange a tour or make a donation, please call the museum coordinator at 416-785-2500, ext. 2802.
