My wife and I spent an enjoyable afternoon at the gallery, which has a surprisingly diverse and interesting collection curated well, including many Canadian artists, modern art, English, and a room dedicated to Dali. Lots of breathing room. Good lighting. Nice views of the river. Ended our visit at nice cafe/bistro within the Museum.

It's an awesome art gallery. Much bigger than I expected. The gallery as paintings from various Canadian artists like the Group of Seven, Emily Carr, Riopelle, Borduas and also world renowned artists like Matisse, Warhol, Turner, etc. I had a really good time except when I was visiting the first floor. The employee sitting at the desk downstairs was joking around with the security guard and was extremely loud. Not really professional.

They have a Lucien Freud. Which always astonishes me. It's a small gallery but with a lot to see. They had a big Dali the first time I was there, but it is no longer on display. Which seems like a mistake. I heard someone specifically ask to see it on their visit.

Lovely art gallery! I particularly like the Dali paintings. Today there was a temporary art installation featuring animals made of textiles and furs; they were scattered throughout the building. The rats were disconcertingly realistic. Very much enjoyed my visit and I appreciated the friendly staff.

Small gallery with an interesting collection of Canadian art and some amazing pieces donated by Lord Beaverbrook/The Beaverbrook Foundation, including some Dalis, which are an experience not to be missed. After a few hours at the Beaverbrook be sure to continue up the road to visit the Gallery on Queen to continue your viewing of outstanding Canadian artworks.

This was my first time and I didn't have a lot of time, so appreciated being able to go on a donation night. I have been in several of the galleries across Canada, plus the National gallery in Scotland. This gallery did not disappoint! There was such a nice variety that there would be something for everyone. Some of the paintings and antique dishware literally stopped me in my tracks! The gift shop is small, but had a wonderful variety of items and price ranges.

Took the kids to their first tour of an art gallery. Was a great experience, the new located of the Dali is perfect for a surprise around the corner and there were new special surprises on every level. Kids loved the food at the new cafe and their soup of the day was amazing.

Art gallery with large viewing area and lots of help, if you'd like more information on something. A featured Canadian display when I was there. Wonderful works. So much history, frozen in time.

This has always been a wonderful gallery, and the new wing is a perfect addition.
Lots of room for temporary exhibits, and a visiting artist studio open to visitors of the gallery.
There is a trendy coffee shop in the new addition.
The website offers all kinds of workshops and presentations.
The Dali has been moved, and looks much smaller in its new location in the gallery.
