Post-pandemic, if you're ever in Toronto, you may want to visit the MZTV Museum of Television:
> In the heart of Liberty Village lives one of the rarest televisions on the planet. This 82-year-old Lucite-encased TRK-12 upends what a TV should look like, thanks to its see-through body and screen-reflecting mirror.
> Only one of this exact model was made, for the 1939 World Fair, and the collector who owns it has been sharing its journey, among many others, at a museum devoted to his passion for the fascinating history of television sets.
