Spadina Museum: Historic House & Gardens, sometimes called Spadina House (/spəˈdiːnə/), is a historic manor on Spadina Road in Toronto, Canada that is now a museum operated by the City of Toronto Cultural Services. The museum preserves the house much as it existed and developed historically. The art, decor and architecture of the house used to reflect the contemporary styles of the 1860s through the 1930s, including Victorian, Edwardian, Arts and Crafts, Art Deco, Art Nouveau and Colonial Revival styles. After being closed for a year for restoration work, the Spadina Museum was re-opened to the public on October 24, 2010 after 10 months of extensive interior and exterior renovations in the inter-war era style of the 1920s and 1930s. The estate's gardens reflect the landscape during the Austin family's occupation of the house.
The first house constructed on the site was built in 1818 by Dr. William Warren Baldwin. He named his 200-acre (0.81 km2) property and estate Spadina, which derived from the Ojibwe word espadinong, which translates as "hill" or "sudden rise of land". Baldwin himself designed the two storey wood frame house. The house burnt down in 1835, and owing to the three mile (5 km) trek from the estate into York, he moved to a house on Front Street. He built a smaller country estate on the property in 1836.
A museum (/mjuˈziːəm/; myoo-zee-um) is an institution that cares for (conserves) a collection of artifacts and other objects of artistic, cultural, historical, or scientific importance and makes them available for public viewing through exhibits that may be permanent or temporary. Most large museums are located in major cities throughout the world and more local ones exist in smaller cities, towns and even the countryside. Museums have varying aims, ranging from serving researchers and specialists to serving the general public. The goal of serving researchers is increasingly shifting to serving the general public.
Some of the most attended museums include the Louvre in Paris, the National Museum of China in Beijing, the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., the British Museum in London, the National Gallery in London and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. There are many types of museums, including art museums, natural history museums, science museums, war museums and children's museums.
A party is a gathering of people who have been invited by a host for the purposes of socializing, conversation, recreation, or as part of a festival or other commemoration of a special occasion. A party will typically feature food and beverages, and often music and dancing or other forms of entertainment. In many Western countries, parties for teens and adults are associated with drinking alcohol such as beer, wine or distilled spirits.
Some parties are held in honor of a specific person, day, or event, such as a birthday party, a Super Bowl party, or a St. Patrick’s Day party. Parties of this kind are often called celebrations. A party is not necessarily a private occasion. Public parties are sometimes held in restaurants, pubs, beer gardens, nightclubs or bars, and people attending such parties may be charged an admission fee by the host. Large parties in public streets may celebrate events such as Mardi Gras or the signing of a peace treaty ending a long war.

ご視聴いただきありがとうございます。 車窓シリーズVol.11となる今回は、新函館北斗と東京を結ぶ、北海道・東北新幹線「はやぶさ」の全区間車窓をお届けします。 整備計画から43年、青函トンネル開通から28年経った2016年3月26日、北海道新幹線(新函館北斗-新青森間)が開業しました。東京とは最速4時間2分、新青森とは最速1時間1分で結び、ビジネス面以上に観光面での交流・活性化が期待されています。 前回はE5系が充当される「はやぶさ18号」でしたが、今回はH5系が充当される「はやぶさ22号」に乗車しました。北海道新幹線直通のH5系列車は2往復しかない為、収録当日もカメラを構える方々が各地で見られました。 また青函トンネル進入後(00:30:28~)に少しだけではありますが、食事メニューの紹介をしております。そしてGlan Classということまたテスト直前だったこともあり、動画中に撮影者が色々動きます。ご了承ください(;・∀・) なお冒頭には、2014年10月~11月に掛けて行われた新幹線搬入の様子を入れております(本編開始は00:06:57~)。新幹線の陸送は初めて見たので、この時はとても興奮しましたね。 新幹線や在来線特急車窓のプレイリストは、こちらからどうぞ... https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL81YatkTahWD9Nn_k0hcO1k4SGZmjcOYC 【北海道・東北新幹線 特別編集版】 はやぶさ18号(E5系9号車) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9Z3_GMqavo&feature;=youtu.be はやぶさ22号(H5系10号車)【当動画】 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kql4U5ftHaw&feature;=youtu.belist=...
