The \u201cxDX collection\u201d comes from the Design Exchange (DX) in Toronto, which deaccessioned its entire collection of design objects and archives in 2019 to the Royal Ontario Museum, the Canadian Museum of History, the Archives of Ontario, York University, and Carleton University. The xDX collection is a valuable historical resource that documents postwar Canadian industrial design. As an interdisciplinary teaching collection used primarily in the School for Studies in Art and Culture and the School of Industrial Design, the artefacts can be shown and handled, allowing for a hands-on teaching and learning experience. The roughly 180 artefacts of the collection range widely in type, from domestic technologies, housewares, and electronics to safety equipment, prototypes, and icons of Canadian furniture design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
