Its extensive collection spans centuries and cultures, with Canadian, Indigenous, European, African, and contemporary works displayed throughout a striking building redesigned by Toronto-born architect Frank Gehry.

✨ What to Know

Founded in 1900, the AGO has grown into one of Toronto’s most important cultural institutions. Its collection includes tens of thousands of works ranging from paintings and sculptures to photography, prints, installations, and decorative arts, complemented by a changing schedule of major temporary exhibitions.

💡 What to See and Do

Architectural highlights are also part of the experience, including the sweeping Galleria Italia along Dundas Street and the gallery’s dramatic sculptural staircase.

🌟 Helpful Tips
