Art Gallery of Ontario

[Johann]

The AGO just had 33, 000 visitors during the March break.
So it is quite popular in the city.
(Plus Wednesdays admission is free, regular admission is $18).

My posts about the AGO are far from complete.
I've not included scores and scores of pieces of art. (World Class at that). When you leave the AGO, you know you've just experienced something amazing, and that you have to return.
That's what an art gallery should do to a person.
Whatever "style" or art movement you are interested in, this gallery has something major by someone major in every category. Most major artists of note are represented in either artworks or inspired artworks.
And yes, you can get real up close and personal to each piece of art. (except the miniature boats/ships/warships/firearms- they are encased in plexiglass).
To be standing mere inches in front of a Hunt, Gorky or Picasso...you feel something powerful.


By the way the gift shop has tons of deluxe hardcover books on major artists. It's truly a worthwhile place to visit.
