Beaverbrook Art Gallery Reviews

Took the day and drove to Fredericton to check out the gallery. Really enjoy the exhibits

Nice gallery containing local (maritimes), Canadian and world art. Makes for good few hours and recommend the audio tour. The highlight are the Dali room, but the gallery is well organized and worth a visit in all rooms.
The cafe is superb as well, specifically there pastries.

Art culture old and new always featured it is never the same always different showings helpful friendly staff... Yes a destination to visit while in NB's capital city

Incredible. My husband and I went on a date here and spent hours taking in the art. Various mediums are used here, it's hard to pick favourites. Gallery is very clean and has wonderful, educated, friendly staff members. Place to hang your coat while you look around, and a lovely cafe downstairs with incredibly fresh deserts. Was nice to sit down and take a minute after our visit. Really enjoyed our time here, the price of entry was very reasonable for the hours of entertainment that we had. Was most excited to see the huge Dali painting and it was more impressive that I imagined! Thank you for a delightful date out!

Amazing collections of unique Arts, facility is wide enough you feel the special arts done in the past with little supplies. If you visit Fredricton, you must take time to visit Beaverbrook Art Gallery.

Hard to rate a museum based on the art, when the art pieces change.

Great new lay out and renovations. Atlantic Canadian artists are represented beautifully. The Dali collection seems to have expanded nicely. Nice cafe inside now with affordable food and drinks.

Lovely gallery and a fine collection of art by important New Brunswick and international masters. Thursday night is "pay what you can" night :) The new section is beautiful and there is a very nice cafe downstairs with super desserts!

We really enjoyed the Beaverbrook Art Gallery when we visited. My husband isn't super interested in art, but even he enjoyed looking at everything.

I appreciate that they have so much Canadian art on display. I always enjoy seeing art from our own country above all else. It's not a huge gallery, but if you actually relax and enjoy the artwork it's enjoyable.

They also have a bunch of statues and sculptures outside to look at as well. The whole place is such a treat and I'm glad I live nearby.

Very nice place, they have Canadian works of art that are very interesting and that, for those who like art, deserve to be seen.

It is located in downtown Fredericton, New Brunswick

Breathtaking art,note the floors are marble and they do have seating throughout.Best to wear comfortable footwear.

Impressive collection. Very good interpretation and orientation to Dali painting

An impressive, if small gallery with a wonderful selection of both Canadian and international pieces.

A beautiful small art gallery featuring both local and internationally famed artists. Sculptures abound on the grounds and there are both permanent and temporary exhibitions. Well worth a visit. Plan on at least two hours. Food is available.

It was my first art gallery visit and it really is amazing.
They have some of the most unique painting
and the best thing was that I did not pay since I was a student.
A total must!

A real gem of an art gallery in one of Canada's most beautiful towns, Fredericton.

A very well curated gallery showing diverse work. By donation thurs nights.

This has always been one my favourite galleries and my recent visit did not disappoint. Loved checking out the new wing and cafe what a great addition! Collections remain impressive and nicely curated. Great highlights of up-and-coming artists in the basement.

We went on Family Day. The artwork was beautiful to see and there were lots of arts and crafts for my daughter to do.

This is a real gem of an art gallery. Amazing Canadian art collection and presented so well. The staff are very knowledgable and helpful. Both Gerry and Paula explained some exhibits to us that made it so meaningful. The gallery is not too large to be overwhelming. I think this is a MUST SEE if you go to Fredericton .

If you're a fan of Canadian-content landscapes, it's a great place to spend an afternoon. I'm a fan of the facility and can't wait to see the extension.

My sister and I toured the TDGardens but only had a short amount of time. Even though it is winter the weather was warm and we had no problem getting around.

Fantastic student artwork and exquisite. Pieces even includes Dolly and special tribute to Native American Arts

The Beaverbrook Art Gallery is amazing. It's worth a visit.

Surprisingly interesting. Costs 10$. If you are a CAA member they offer a 10% discount.

I have been through a couple times and there is always something interesting to find

Great art gallery with some amazing pieces such as Salvador Dali's Santiago El Grande. Well worth a visit, plan for at least 3 hours. Book a docent tour of the gallery with Gerry Rhymes, he's just fantastic. You will enjoy his tours and knowledge of pieces in the gallery.

One of New Brunswick's leading fine arts institutions.

Was really interesting! I especially enjoyed Janvier's works!! I found the clear plastic info cards for some of the paintings somewhat difficult to read, but wasn't really a problem.

It's an art gallery, what you think is going to be there?

Older vibe, but certainly has some astonishing art on display. -1 for being under construction currently.

Stunning works of art on display with docents available makes it such a great experience.

Plenty of various artists and styles to be seen, with something new to be found with each visit.

Prices are very affordable and makes for an excellent outing, the expanded gallery offers up some new delights.

Definitely worth at least one visit if only to see the huge Dali painting.

Great art and a nice break from the heat. We spent 45 minutes in here looking at all the awesome paintings.

If you can, go during a weekday afternoon. It feels like the whole gallery is yours. Peaceful, inspiring.

Gorgeous art gallery with some really old pieces. Went as part of a tour with other students from across Canada so they concentrated the tour on Canadian artists over the ages. Afterwards we got to work on a painting where our individual pieces would fit together like a puzzle to make a larger painting we had seen on the tour.
The cafe had really good food, and the macaroons were delicious.

By donation Thursday evenings
Excellent art gallery. Well worth going to

Family day first Sunday of every month. Free admission!

A Canadian treasure. It's been renovated since the last time I was there, and they seem to have done a serious expansion, including the addition of an absolutely amazing cafe.

If you like art galleries, you must go. If you don't, go anyway and have them change your mind.

They have everything from early Canadian art by European-trained artists, to FNMI art both contemporary and earlier, to local artists, to students having their first showing, and so much more.

Obviously everyone should go see Santiago el Grande. It's just a thing you should do. Subject yourself to a sense of awe every once in a while.

But I also enjoyed "Equestrian Fantasy" and "James Dunn (La Turbie)" and the story behind those.

And it is so affordable. We brought kids, and one was not feeling well so we had to leave, and we still felt we got great value for our money. So don't let only having enough time to see part of the gallery get in your way.

Finally, just go to the cafe. If I could have eaten there every day I would have. The prices are great, the food is amazing, the coffee is fantastic, and the deserts... oh, the deserts! Not to be missed.

P.S. If you like architecture, the original Mid-Century modern building is still largely intact. By memory, I loved the terrazzo flooring and use of brass. And it blends almost seamlessly with the multiple Modernist additions. It's a building to see if you want to see the opposite of the ROM addition in Toronto.

This place is home to some of the best artwork in NB.

The new wing of the gallery is light and attractive. The cafe has a great location. A good gallery just got better.

Beautiful spot to see Canadian history displayed as well as some other art pieces you wouldn t expect to see in tiny old Fredericton!

Nice spot... I wish there were more interactive activities

The best kept art secret east of Montreal. Seriously, a hidden gem.

I loved the "el camino" exposing, and all collection they have

First class gallery with lots of community events and classes.

Interesting gallery from early art to present day artists, without overdoing any particular period. I liked the spaciousness to stand back to view the larger artworks.

World class collection. Excellent facility. Engaging exhibits (and staff!) Loved the range of art and the interpretation.

Love this place just to relax and browse and to hide away

Pretty cool place, it's new expansion should be opening soon.

What a changes this gallery has expanded greatly since I was last here as a child. The artists, exhibits, and styles are diverse. Even though it may seem small at first, you can easily spend a couple of hours here if you take your time. It has a cafe, outdoor sculptures surrounding the property, a small gift shop and two levels of galleries. Note, you can't bring food or drink into the galleries.

Great place to come relax and forget about the outside world!

Not much of an Arts guy, but a few of us decided to go, as had never been. Its a great facility with some very impressive pieces!! Looking for something to do on a really hot or cold day? I would recommend this Gallery!!

Beautiful tour with docent. Some unique paintings like Edward VIII that can be seen nowhere else

The gallery showcases amazing paintings and artwork from all across Canada.
But what actually impressed me were the various street installations around the gallery building.
Each had a little plate with details about the artists. I reached the Gallery towards the end of the day so they did not charge me full admission and allowed me to contribute whatever amount I was willing to.
I had a great time there.

Impressive gallery. Will get a yearly membership renewed.

A great collection of beautiful masterpieces! And the stories behind them are so fun to learn.

Extensive collection, beautiful layout, great special displays.

60 year old Gallery! Fabulous collections, well worth the visit!

This place is an experience. I genuinely didn't realise we had access to this type of well-known art in New Brunswick at all. My expectations were unfairly low. It was a spontaneous visit and I was delighted to see paintings by some of my favourite artists.
