Kid Icarus – Science Centre

Kid Icarus, Science Centre, Screenprint

A print to commemorate the Ontario Science Centre.

The original building was built in the style of brutalist architecture. Later, in 1969, it was updated with the addition of the dome featured in our print. The Science Centre stood for 55 years on Don Mills road until June 2024 when the government announced its closure.

Currently, the Science Centre is set to relocate to Ontario Place.

A 12” x 16” five colour screen print, designed and hand printed in our Toronto studio.
