This column is a replica of a house post from the Wuikinuxv First Nation in British Columbia. The original, which was carved from a cedar log, is part of the Royal Ontario Museum's collection which is only steps away. It is one of several striking columns that represent cultural treasures housed in the museums overhead that were unveiled as part of the renovation of the Museum subway station completed in 2008. This platform design, so strikingly different from any other in the city, is the result of Arts on Track, a project spearheaded by the Toronto Community Foundation, which put donated money toward this subway improvement.
