Museums - Art Gallery of Ontario

Founded by a group of private citizens in 1900, the Art Gallery of Ontario operates a 486,000-square-foot facility and owns a collection of more than 38,000 works of art dating from the eleventh century to the present. It is located in downtown Toronto and is the eighth-largest art museum in North America. The collection includes European Old Masters, Group of Seven, and Canadian and international contemporary works, including the world’s largest public collection of works by renowned British sculptor Henry Moore. It also has a large collection of Canadian Inuit art, primarily of the modern period (1948–present).
