And check out Forgotten Genius: The Boy Who Invented Electronic Television, an exhibit the Toronto Star called, “the most significant television exhibit in North America”.
“For Toronto to be housing the Farnsworth collection is the television geek equivalent of having King Tut’s Tomb — and a couple Gutenberg bibles, without the lineups.” – Tony Wong, The Toronto Star
