Wonderful place. Even though the first floor was temporarily closed, we thoroughly enjoyed the gallery. I loved there seems to be a balance in the number of showcased art works by women and men, with a representation of First Nations as well.The Morrisseau collection is stunning and work in progress by Kim Adams very impressive.
The museum has a guided tour, which is cool. I took the guided one for an hour, and it was packed with info. If you're not into guided stuff, you can wander around on your own. They've got some really interesting art pieces. Just a heads up, parking isn't free.
Not sure why it took 9 years living in Hami, for me to visit AGH. It was absolutely a mind-blowing experience for me. Went there on Thursday, it was free and my eyes, my heart are still smiling from all the beautiful, amazing art I saw there, totally recommend and will definitely return for the longest ever work in progress aka the VW bus. Truly impressive. I learned a lot
UPDATED REVIEW:nBack again to see the current exhibition of the many works of Shelley Niro, titled '500 Year Itch'. This exhibit was an amazing collection of decades of works by the artist. Their talents are expressed through photography, painting, beadwork, videos and mixed media pieces. Their piece called '500 Year Itch' is a take on the image of Marilyn Monroe from the movie ' The Seven Year Itch'.nWe were also pleased to learn that guided visits are available. What a terrific addition that was. Our guide David had so much background about the artist and their works that really helped to give more context. Thanks, David!nI've added some photos from the '500 Year Itch' exhibition as a Photo Update for AGH.nnORIGINAL REVIEW:nI'm a bit embarrassed to admit that it has been at least 15 years since last visiting AGH. So much missed opportunity.nSo glad we finally made an effort to stop in. Taking advantage of free admission available on Thursdays we spent several hours exploring the three exhibitions currently on level one Wonder, میں اپنی ماں کی بیٹی ہوں ….. I am my mother’s daughter and Breathing in China: Art, Ethics, and Environment. We also spent considerable time on level two looking through the permanent collection. What a privilege to see so many works by exceptional Canadian artists such as Norval Morriseau, Emily Carr, Alex Colville, Lawren Harris, and more.nLooking forward to our next much sooner trip to the gallery.
We were there for about 4 hours but could have easily spent another hour or two. There's so much to see. There's a nice little coffee shop where you can grab a snack. We loved it. I recommend educating yourself on the Group of Seven Canadian artists before you go so that you have some background in that area.
