McLuhan House

McLuhan House in Edmonton offers free monthly events in a restored 1912 residence, giving visitors an intimate look at Marshall McLuhan’s life and ideas. Guests can step inside the historic home where Dr. Herbert Marshall McLuhan lived as a child from 1911 to 1915 and explore Arts Habitat’s micro museum dedicated to his legacy as a contemporary media theorist and prolific author. Exhibits highlight his influential thinking on media and communication in an accessible, engaging way. Opened in January 2016 and designated as a Centre for Art and Ideas, the house hosts a changing calendar of free programs that invite reflection and conversation. Visitors are encouraged to call ahead to make an appointment and ensure a relaxed, unhurried experience in this quiet Highlands neighbourhood landmark.
