Art Gallery of Ontario

I absolutely loved the special exhibition of Jesse Mockrin‘s work! Incredible! But even the rest of the museum was very well curated, such a great range. From African contemporary art, Picasso and Monet, European paintings, modern and some small classic sculptures and carvings, some weirder modern pieces (which I liked least), a mirror room, and more. A little pricey for a one time visit ($30), but very cheap as an annual pass ($40). Spent 3.5 hours here but could have taken longer. Also go up the wooden staircase for a great view of the CN tower and the city.

We visited the Art Gallery of Ontario and had an amazing experience! The gallery is huge and beautifully curated, with a fantastic collection of Canadian and international art. Walking through the exhibits, we were inspired by the creativity and talent on display. The building itself is stunning, with modern architecture and well-designed spaces that make exploring the art even more enjoyable. The staff are friendly and helpful, and there are plenty of opportunities to learn more about the pieces and artists. A must-visit for anyone who loves art and culture!

They make it accessible especially with the free admission on the first Wednesday of each month! However you can also enjoy it with less people or on your own time with paid admission which is quite reasonable. I have to say the volunteers and staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. One in particular gave amazing hints on finding a particular artwork and even taught us how to view the and enjoy the painting. It was educational and adventurous! Great place for young and old and we are so lucky to have the AGO!

Love the collections at the AGO. I waited in line for the infinity mirror exhibition for over 40 minutes. I didn't find it was worth it for the amount of time they give you to take photos (1 minute per 4 people). The room isnt large enough to be able to appreciate it as much as I would have hoped.

The museum features a modest selection of classical works and early paintings by Claude Monet and Picasso. However, its true allure lies in the architectural experience—most notably the wooden spiral staircase, which evokes the fluidity of water, reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright’s organic designs. Equally captivating is the expansive collection of Henry Moore’s sculptures, which anchor the museum’s identity. Beyond these highlights, much of the collection can be browsed quickly. Still, the visit is well worth 1–2 hours.
