  • I am a huge Group of Seven fan so when I finally got to visit the McMichael Canadian Art Collection last weekend, I felt like I was going to Mecca. The gallery is big and easy to manoeuvre through, and all accessible. The main collection, the Group of Seven, occupy several rooms, along with works by Emily Carr and other Canadian painters. Apart from the Group of Seven, McMichael has a great collection of Native and Inuit art and sculptures. Current exhibitions are housed on the second and third floors. At the moment, there is a great photography exhibit about Alberta's frontier past in the 19th century and Inuit life in Alaska in the early 20th century. Nature plays a vital role in the gallery. It has not only inspired the artwork seen at McMichael, but the gallery itself is right smack in the middle of it. In each of the gallery rooms, there are windows that look out to gorgeous vistas of the Bruce Trail. There's also a sculpture garden which I hear is beautiful but sadly, the weather wasn't cooperating and we were rained out. We did see Tom Thomson's shack which was neat to see and offered a glimpse into what his life might have been like, however I don't know if a basketball can be deemed authentic as it was in plain view in one of the rooms that serve as a storage room. Hint to the McMichael: Maybe you might want to cover the windows of the storage room? Their restaurant, Seven, is nice and modern-looking, and has a nice patio that overlooks the grounds. Again, we couldn't enjoy this because of the rain. Seven does have the potential of being a nice place to eat but it felt like we were in a cafeteria. The food is hit or miss: the Spicy Steak Burger with aged cheddar was delicious but the quiche was BLAND. The prices are reasonable and they do offer a prix fixe menu that combines an appetizer, entrĂ©e and dessert for $20. The McMichael Canadian Art Collection is definitely worth a visit. It's only 45 minutes away from downtown Toronto and makes for a great day trip to walk around the property. Yes, they do charge a $5 fee to park there, but that's only if you're walking the grounds. Regular admission into the gallery is $15 and open all year round.
