RBR Development Associates Ltd., Art Gallery of Ontario Program Reviews

There was an exhibit/gallery that had prominent Canadian works, and all the informational labels were in (I think) Mohawk (someone please correct me if I'm wrong), English, and French. They also had information about the traditional names of the places where each work was done or from. This should be a universally applied practice (where applicable). Well done, AGO.

Also lots of wonderful things to look at! Cemins! Kollwitz! I don't remember it all! Glad I bought an annual pass (cheap pilot programme) so I can keep going back.

always have new artworks.
free for 25 or under.

Beautiful and very interesting. Spectacular from the architectural point of view contains few European works of great beauty and interesting. Remarkable also the contemporary part in a very dynamic country is certainly important to understand how it expresses itself artistically. Recommended

A huge, easily accessed museum with terrific collections, especially for the Group of Seven artists, though more placards could be placed next to paintings without having to refer to map guide folders belonging to the museum. The special exhibit - Georgia O'Keefe exhibit - was a bit disappointing except for the film. Most of sparse collection showed merely a title but little or no description. Overall, the museum is one of my favorite places to visit when I am in Toronto.

Get inspired. Go. I understand they still have deals but it's a bargain at any price. Be in the same room as a Warhol...seriously go. :)

I love the Art Gallery of Toronto. It's one of my favourite places in the city. I love the permanent art collection but the visiting exhibitions are nice to see.

Admission fee isn't too expensive but they also have free hours every Wednesday night, 6-9pm (I've never experienced long lines during their free nights).

Really enjoyed it, they have Covid protocols in place.

Received unfair treatment from security when visiting the Guillermo del Toro, some AGO super fans would even try to do whatever way to stop you saying negative things about this Gallery... Now I see why this place never improved.

Amazing art museum! I went to Toronto for 3 days and I was very happy to have visited this museum!

Pretty cool. Didn't get to visit yayoi kasuma exhibit.

Went here years ago and wasn't impressed, however I decided to give it a try again and OMG it was awesome! I think last time it was under renovation so a lot of the museum was closed, however now there is an endless amount of beautiful artworks and exhibitions. I really enjoyed my time here!

Seeing the work of Rubens at the AGO was one of the greatests experiences. Torontonians were very lucky to have the opportunity to see this amazing collection of art. More exhibitions are coming, and I won't miss them.

Great art gallery option to go to. Especially if you're 25 or under, they are offering a free year long pass for younger folks in order to gain a greater heart for art. Honestly, as a new grad, that pass allowed me to discover more about myself, gain deep insight about learning, and gave me a new appreciation for art that I never expected to experience. Especially as someone who hated history and art growing up and never understanding its importance, learning to understand and come to enjoy history through AGO has made this place something special to me for the rest of my life.

Easy 5 stars. I've been a member for 2 years now. Great exhibits, clean, friendly staff, and great children's area.

There are so many exhibits that you need time to watch them slowly. We happened to be on Family Day and there were so many people. Normally it should be better. The instructions of the exhibition hall are not clear. Can't find what I want to see.

Always interesting exhibits and events going on. Membership recommended.

Magnificent museum. The interior architecture in light wood is superb. Very nice exhibitions, but worth the trip just for the museum itself.

Very beautiful place. I had a fotoshoot here, for sure I'll come back to enjoy atmosphere

Very nice museum. In a nice area of the city. Definitely stop in if you're in the area. Many great permanent displays and check the internet 4 they're featured shows

My experience was fantastic! The AGO was quite full the evening I went yet it never affected my experience or the feel of the gallery. The staff were always in sight and incredibly professional! Highly recommend.

A really nice gallery that has free entries on Wednesdays!

Loved it and for 35 dollars you can go anytime you want!!! Best deal ever

First time being there and I loved everything it had to offer. I went with my cousin who is an Art Student and she told me the stories behind each painting. Made the experience interesting.

Went on nuit blanche and there wasn't anything really special or interesting.

I pick and choose my shows, but they've all been great.

A beautiful collection that benefits from visiting exhibitions.

A toronto institution, this place is always worth a visit!

Very interesting exhibitions. Moreover they have a really nice aera for kids.

Interesting, however the architectural layout seems to promote crowded bottlenecks rather than a smooth flow of perambulation. It is also very difficult to navigate and orientate the room numbers when rooms are numbered with near microscopic numbers or not at all. The collection favors a provincialism that results in a severe lack of breadth and variety in terms of Canadian painted art, and nearly no captions accompanying artwork (one has to consult a separate booklet kept in a wall pocket (this is bonkers). And how many Cheverton ivory statuettes are representative of the genre, merely 300, maybe try for 500?

Liked it
Didn't have a lot of time so don't wanna judge that much

As a beginner, the art gallery is a great place to go to when art is something you're interested in! You can go there by yourself or with someone special and make a lasting, memorible moments that certainly you will come back for more !

Amazing place, most be to visit in Toronto.
But don't get fool about the I'm alive exhibition. Not worth it. Guillermo del Toro was superb.

Great place to visit and meet Canadian artists. They have an exhibition by Yayoi Kusama.

A lot to walk and a lot to enjoy the magic of art.... Some of the masterpieces as just incredible... I definitely enjoyed being there...

This is a great museum of art from various eras and countries. Fantastic collection of Canadian art like the Moore sculptures. The travelling exhibits that are featured a few times a year are a nice addition.

Such an amazing place - every time I go I see something new....

Always a pleasure to visit. The new permanent collection is nice.

Accessible building. Wonderful selection of art and sculpture.

Great art gallery option to go to.There is a special section for indigenous and Canadian artwork.Love this museum.Highly recommended.

Great place to see all types of artwork. Also it's free for anyone under 25!

Went to the Kusama exhibit and I was so impressed. Staff were very helpful and patient despite the large crowd. Art was amazing and very nicely displayed. Cant speak for a regular day here, but I had a wonderful experience!

Give yourself a day, it still won't be enough. We did the contemporary session with some highlights being Emily Carr and group of seven. They also have African masks, European renaissance works. Don't skip the first floor section of prayer beads and miniature carvings, this intricate work is mind-blowing

Loved it. Free between 6 to 9pm on Wednesday. Tours at 7pm. Great renovations.

A fantastic rotation of exhibits, great staples and a unique building make for a must see in the city!
Be sure to find a south side view for a unique view of Toronto.

A great centre for Canadian art. Shame all museums in the city charge so much, I'm spoilt coming from the UK

Difficult navigation due to a lack of sturdy railings, but such is to be expected from an art gallery. There is always something to see here

The best collection in Canada, hands down. Verry friendly and knowledgeable staff

I love this place! They have so much variety, and there's always something new.

Get a membership.

It makes total money sense, if you go even twice a year, to see the special exhibits.

The sunsets are magnificent, more local art but undeniably exquisite.

The Infinity Mirrors exhibit was fantastic, but unfortunately we were unable to see the rest of the gallery during our visit, due to hours and a private event.

Unsurprisingly an incredible art gallery with some excellent special exhibits. It s one cost to enter, and an additional cost if there is a special exhibit you want to see. I ve been to a few and was impressed.

This is a grate place to meet the arts. Nice collections and variety. Good service. Amazing espresso caffe with a grate panoramic view of Dundas street.

The AGO offers a great experience every time with exhibits being presented very well with lots of interactive features. Definitely a must-see location when visiting Toronto.

Very nice museum including a small part rich enough European art, a fairly important part of Canadian art and a rather uninteresting part of contemporary art.
To see in the basement a rather remarkable exhibition of ship models of the nineteenth century of exceptional quality.

Our visit was just amazing. Till early January you get to see Rubens artworks which are just gorgeous. If you have kids you will definitely have fun at the kids area.

I love the AGO. If I lived in Ontario, I would get a membership. It has a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere, with beautiful permanent exhibits and interesting, conversation-worthy temporary exhibits. It makes a great multi-generational outing.
I enjoy the atrium cafe, as it has a great view of Chinatown, and is in the fun glass ribcage, but wish it was better stocked with snacks, and had a few more tables.
I am excited to experience the children's programming in a couple of years!

Beautiful gallery. Highly recommend their First Thursday event!

When it comes to "Members will have an opportunity to be one of the first to see..." their process is grossly inefficient and very frustrating. Members are assigned random numbers when added to the queue - what they call queue isn't an actual queue, it's some kind of nonsense that causes frustration and confusion. Won't renew my membership again. I complained today and the response I I got was a pathetic excuse and nothing else.

Amazing staff and amazing architecture. The area outside is also pretty nice.

Come get your Tax Write-off's, Extra Extra. This is a big place, set aside alot of time in the day to see it all and take your time, go out and get a bite across the street, don't rush.
