Folklore

A tribute to the storytellers, balladeers, and tradition-keepers of Canadian music. FolkLore explores the rich tapestry of songs passed down through generations—tales of love, labour, loss, and life from every corner of the country. From traditional fiddle tunes and sea shanties to field recordings, protest songs, and contemporary folk revivalists, this room captures the voices that shaped Canada’s cultural memory. Rooted in place, steeped in history—this is Canada’s living folklore, preserved in song.
