  • Yesterday was the last day of the Abstract Expressionist exhibition at the AGO so there I went. I've already seen most of the AGO's regular collection so my main focus was on the "ABEX" gallery. I've actually already seen part of the same collection when I visited the MoMa in New York 2 years ago, but abstract paintings are always inspiring. The price of admission is $25 for adults but I paid $16.50 with my student discount (only a valid student ID is required). Admission into the permanent exhibitions are included. If you are visiting for AGO's permanent collection and not for a temporary exhibition like the ABEX, definitely go on a Wednesday evening - admission is free after 6pm! I arrived at around 3pm and there were quite a large number of last minute museum goers like me. Though there was already a queue outside to limit the number of visitors in the gallery at the same time (I had to wait 30 minutes to get in), the gallery was still somewhat crowded when I finally got in. The AGO was quite considerate though as they extended the closing time from the regular 5:30pm to 6pm just to accommodate everyone who were here for the exhibition on the final day. I had some time left after the ABEX show so I visited their Haut Culture exhibition as well. The pieces were very modern and fun, and included many Pop Art elements. Definitely a go for young people and those who are not that into traditional paintings. I definitely recommend the AGO as a tourist destination. The AGO as a building itself is already quite a landmark, designed by world renown architect Frank Gehry. The large glass skylights coupled with the warm colours of the interior wood and white walls gives a bright and relaxing atmosphere. The boutique inside the gallery is also a nice place to shop at even if you are not seeing any of its exhibitions. They sell lots of fun and chic items ranging from accessories, souvenirs to home decor. Though expensive, they are great gift ideas.
