Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto
Description: The Art Gallery of Ontario is one of the most important and largest museums in North America. Its main focus is on works by Canadian and European artists. The museum was founded in 1900. The building in which it is located today was redesigned in the early 2000s by architect Frank Gehry. The reopening took place on November 14, 2008. The collection of works by the Group of Seven is very extensive, and several rooms are dedicated to them.
Admission fees: 30CAD per person
Opening hours: open daily except Mondays from 10:30 a.m.
Our rating: This museum is a must for anyone interested in art. It is simply magnificent, and it is almost impossible to see everything in one day. The section dedicated to the works of the Group of Seven alone is huge. One of our absolute highlights, besides the works of the Group of Seven, was Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirrored Room. As it was not very busy, we were allowed into the room all by ourselves. For exactly one minute—and yes, that's no joke, because it was measured with a stopwatch—we were alone in the middle of the artwork. This was certainly not our last visit to this magnificent museum.
