  • If you want to get a feel for Canadian art, this is the place to go! The permanent collection is devoted primarily to the artists known as the Group of Seven (there were actually a few more than seven of them), six of whom are buried on the grounds. Additionally, their mentor Tom Thomson is well represented along with West Coast landscape artist Emily Carr. Almost all of this oeuvre of work dates from the first half of the twentieth century. It is not as radically modernist as some works from other countries of the same period, but it has a distinctively Canadian sensibility. Very few, if any, of the works could be mistaken for art from the US, though some of Lawren Harris' work vaguely resembles Georgia O'Keefe. What stands out in this work are the cool northern colours (sometimes even in paintings of autumn foliage), the emphasis on trees, often viewed as individuals rather than landscape components, and a sense of vastness and tranquility. In general, I feel this collection of these artists' works is better than that held by the Art Gallery of Ontario. Upstairs, rotating collections focus on aboriginal art. The recent gift of 49 contemporary Northwest culture masks is absolutely amazing in its beauty and there are several Anishnabe Woodland artists represented, including the great Norval Morriseau. A fairly recent addition to the beautiful grounds is a sculpture garden containing nine striking bronzes by Ivan Eyre. Large and interesting gift shop with many Inuit carvings and lots of art books on Canadian art. Pricing is a bit steep at $18 plus $5 for parking, as this museum is not huge. However, the quality is very high. If you go and weather permits, take time to walk around the grounds, which are lovely. Trails connect with the Humber River trail (the Humber is just a little brook at this point).
