Virtual Exhibitions
Since the University of Toledo went online in the mid-1990s, the Canaday Center has developed virtual representations of most of our annual exhibitions. Virtual exhibitions are made available after the physical exhibition has closed. Those currently available to view are listed below in reverse chronological order.
