Lonely Planet review

The streamlined moderne Design Exchange building served as the original Toronto Stock Exchange from 1937, its grand opening pushing Toronto ahead of Montréal as Canada's financial centre. Check out the art deco stone friezes and the medallions on the stainless steel doors detailing stern-faced communist pick-wielders and jack-hammer operators.

Inside there's a gift shop and eye-catching temporary exhibits of contemporary and retro industrial design (everything from record players to kettles).
