McMichael Canadian Art Collection
The McMichael Canadian Art Collection offers its visitors a unique and truly Canadian experience. From the art on its walls to the surrounding landscape, the McMichael is the perfect gallery for an introduction to Canada’s art, its peoples, their cultures and their history, and it offers visitors the unique opportunity to enjoy Canadian landscape paintings in the woodland setting that inspired them. Renowned for its devotion to collecting only Canadian art, the McMichael permanent collection consists of over 6,000 artworks by Tom Thomson, the Group of Seven, their contemporaries, and Aboriginal and contemporary artists who have made a contribution to Canada’s artistic heritage. Built of fieldstone and hand-hewn logs, the McMichael houses thirteen exhibition galleries and is situated amid 100 acres of serene conservation land. Floor-to-ceiling windows enable visitors to enjoy marvellous views of the densely wooded Humber River Valley. Through a network of outdoor paths and hiking trails, visitors can discover outdoor sculptures and wander the McMichael Cemetery where six Group of Seven members and gallery co-founders Robert and Signe McMichael have been laid to rest. The gallery welcomes on average 100,000 visitors annually who enjoy year-round special exhibitions, programs, tours, and much more. Start your trip at mcmichael.com.
