This gallery really doesn't want visitors from off campus. I brought my kids here today and you are not allowed to park behind the building or anywhere nearby except in 1 spot that was occupied. I called and was told the one spot had opened but when I went to it my car was too big and it is only a Ford fusion. I loved the quilt collection and other works when I lived on campus years ago but am not able to visit now, very disappointing.
First off, you can go to this place for free. They have really good selection of art. Modern, contemporary, historic. Bader gallery where Rembrandt and company was displayed was our favorite. Covid protocols are being followed, masks and sanitizers are available for everyone. House of Agnes was beautifully decorated. You could easily spend hours here. The whole place was sparkling clean and well appointed. The staff were all friendly and courteous. Can't wait to bring my daughters here.
Very small but entertaining
The Agnes E. Art center is an outstanding collection of 17th century to modern art exhibits. It's tucked right in the middle of Queens University. Paired with the origional Elizabeth Bader home, this amazing building is home to an extraordinary collection of artwork, interpretive exhibits, workshops for adults and children.... It is a jewel nestled in the beautiful limestone buildings that make Queens University a must see and explore experience.
We thoroughly enjoyed this museum, the displays were well done, two rooms dedicated to indigenous art were excellent as was the largest room featuring excellent art especially the artworks created by Rembrandt and Peeters, the two people working at front desk were very friendly and knowledgeable, no charge to get into museum onky a donation, I highly recommend this small museum for a couple hour visit, thanks to Queen's University for providing such a great museum!
Poor use of space I wish it has pieces and was bigger I find it odd the pieces they choose to put in the gallery to display often don't project what they are trying to say.
The staff were nice and helped us with our map of the centre. They seem to add new exhibits regularly. All the exhibits were interesting and beautiful to look at and examine the art pieces. Lockers were available if you needed to put stuff away while you walk around.
This visit was a pleasant surprise. It boasts a collection of 4 Rembrandt's but all but 1 were on tour. The highlight for our short visit was the quality and variety of Dutch Masters, contemporaries of Rembrandt, from the 17th C. It is an extraordinary selection. The staff were helpful and friendly. This collection may only be available until Spring 2022.
Great mix of historical, modern, and contemporary art expertly curated. Small enough that you can see it all in an hour or so, but quality enough that you could spend several hours across all the works.
Not a lot of art centres in town. Cool place to bring a date if they're into that kind of thing. Went to the Rembrandt exhibit recently. I don't know how do you review something like this? Well lit, non- obtrusive security, not busy not feeling rushed. Had a good time. Sliding scale to get in as they accept donations rather than charge a flat fee.
