Story

The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia is the provincial art gallery of Nova Scotia. It is located in the downtown of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada with a branch gallery in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia is the largest art museum in Atlantic Canada.HistoryThe gallery was founded in 1908 as the Nova Scotia Museum of Fine Arts. It was renamed in 1975 as the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. In 1988, the gallery moved to the historic Dominion Building, built in 1865, designed by architects David Stirling and William Hay. The gallery expanded in 1998 to include several floors of the Provincial Building located just to the south of Dominion Building. The two structures are separated by Ondaatje Court, a public space that besides being used for temporary exhibitions, contains several large permanent sculptures. Underneath the courtyard is a large underground exhibition room which connects the two buildings.

Definitely worth checking out if you're in town. Lots of East coast art, obviously. Small but decent collect of older European art. Perfect for a rainy out cloudy day in Halifax. Won't take you more than 2 hours - probably less.

I had a wonderful experience here. The staff are very friendly and informative. I thoroughly enjoyed the Maud Lewis exhibit.

One of the exhibits weren't open yet but they warned us of that when we paid. Their exhibit on Maud Lewis was incredibly extensive and was really well put together. The Inuit art exhibit was massive as well and really gave a good overview on Labrador and their native people's traditional craft. They have a handful of traditional classic works and their permenant collection is well curated and varied. Great value for 12 dollars a person.

A lovely collection of Canadian art. The highlight is the Maud Lewis house, a masterwork.

Phenomenal institution for Halifax. Lots of excellent artwork in a gorgeous downtown location. Great way to spend an afternoon.
