Great to Visit! - Nice Art Gallery, wide variety to see. Would visit it again, it is pretty extensive! Having my ticket early worked out really well.

Outstanding images by renowned and lesser-known artists. - Great pictures, great art to Zeil modern installations and objects. The building alone impresses with its architecture and the combination of old and new buildings that blend into one another!

Special Exhibits we found interesting - There is something for everyone at the AGO. On our recent visit these stood out for us. Light Years: The Phil Lind Gift - Some amazing photos that really make you think. Also interesting sculptures. Overall very well presented. Tissot, Women and Time - Such a wonderfully curated selection of works that give a great insight into the time period. Kenojuak Ashevak: Highlights from the Dr. Ronald M. Haynes Collection - There are some amazing pieces of Inuit art on display. Great for people who already love Inuit art and a great introduction to anyone unfamiliar with it.

Beautiful, welcoming gallery - A beautiful, well-designed and maintained facility. The wood environment (floors, stairs, and benches) is so beautiful that it too is worthy of memorable photos. The collections are beautifully presented and include many works of art and genres not seen elsewhere. It is apparently somewhat "undescovered" and allows a quiet, uncrowded visit. Overall, one of the best we've ever visited.

Tons of different artwork - There’s a huge selection of artwork here, not only Canadian art, but art from different cultures and eras. There is even free admission for those who are under 25 so it’s definitely worth visiting!

You must go to the AGO!! - I really like the AGO. I have been many times. Each time I see the art in a new way. Their displays are amazing. I love how it makes me feel just walking through a room after room, admiring the beauty and artistry and creativity that exists within its walls. The staff could be a bit friendlier though.

Nice building, but be prepared for noise! - I wanted to go to the Art Gallery of Toronto as they apparently have a large Henry Moore display. Disappointingly there were very few (two I think) Henry Moore bronzes. Rather there was a large number of plaster casts used by the sculptor for his bronzes around the world. The Art Gallery itself was a lovely building, and there were good displays of other art, including sections of local / indigenous artists, as well as the usual European artists, Rodin, Matisse, Rubens etc. However the acoustics were shocking - some of the displays were audio visual but the sounds were not confined to the room the display was in, rather they reverberated around the gallery floor. As did the noise of other visitors to the gallery, including quite a few children and toddlers. So much so I put some loop ear plugs in to deaden the noise and didn’t stay as long as planned. I did not visit the hip-hop display on the 5th floor.

Worth the money! - Many floors of art to view. I enjoyed seeing the "For the Culture" exhibition. Others were nice as well.

For modern art fans, only. Uncomfortable and expensive - Only if you like post 1880s art. Big price for a small collection. Dominated by contemporary art. Just not my thing. In March 2025 there is an obnoxiously wailing voice installation echoing with women’s voices screeching throughout the museum. I had to put on headphones and music to maintain some sense of equilibrium. Sadly, this was but one of three overly loud exhibits. I go to art museums to feast my eyes, not to have my hearing assaulted. To add insult to injury, the building was boiling hot so insulted ears and rivulets of sweat encouraged me to leave quickly.

Rude staff, broken vending machines - The staff here were extremely rude! I was looking at an artwork when one of the staff members violently grabbed me by the arm and shoved me away from the art piece. The vending machines do not work, as me and my friends wasted well over 5 dollars trying to get chips.
