Why to visit Art Gallery Of Ontario

The Art Gallery of Ontario, with a physical facility of nearly 600,000 square feet, was founded in 1900 by a group of private citizens as the Art Museum of Toronto. It is one of the largest art museums in North America. In 2008, the AGO expanded with a groundbreaking design by renowned museum architect Frank Gehry.

The AGO has nearly 95,000 works in its collection, which spans the centuries from 100 B.C. to the present. With drawings and paintings by the Group of Seven, as well as works from First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples, the collection vividly illustrates the development of Canada's visual legacy.

It also houses important European art from the 12th to the 19th centuries, as well as contemporary art from 1960 to the present, over 40,000 photographs from the 19th century onwards, the world's largest public collection of works by British sculptor Henry Moore, and an internationally significant decorative arts collection. Because to Artstor's agreement with SODRAC, Canada's main society for reproduction rights, many modern artists in the AGO's collection are included.
