Reviews
Impressive building with very nice collections, especially inuit art. But the gallery will substantially benefit from the audio guide in which the stories of the displayed art are nicely told, something is normal in Europe.nnHalfway in the gallery, I discovered there is a booklet for the inuit display, not great but better than nothing. Then, I discovered a colored book placed on the couches.nnThe rest of the gallery is nice, but the story is needed to complete the experience. Again, I am biased as i am used to how these are done in Europe as even a non-artist will become very interested in the displays.
The Inuit display far exceeded my expectations and is world class. The traditional art gallery had a pleasant display from a range of artists which we enjoyed. The gallery is easy to tour and will not disappoint!!!
Fantastic collection of art! The first nations art is definitely the highlight. The rooftop sculptures were cool too
A must visit place for art connoisseurs and those wanting to learn more about arts especially inuit art! There are no words to express the experience - go find out for yourself. Trust me, you wont be disappointed!
Perfect day to spend at the WAG. So much to see. Very affordable. Beautiful artwork.nLovely facility. Next time will try the cafe.
