The museum is located north of Queen's Park in the University of Toronto, with its main entrance facing Bloor Street. Founded in 1912, the museum has maintained close relations with the University of Toronto throughout its history, often sharing expertise and resources.

With more than six million items and forty galleries, the museum's diverse collections of world culture and natural history are part of the reason for its international reputation.
