SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS - ON NOW
|
A Foundation for Fifty Years: McMichael Masterworks
The McMichael owes its existence and collection to the generosity of donors. A Foundation for Fifty Years presents some of the most significant donations made during the gallery's founding year (1966) by Signe and Robert McMichael, as well as by their peers, who were all excited to gift Canadian masterworks to the public of Ontario.
|
For Every Season
Canada is celebrated for its four beautiful and distinct seasons, which have inspired the very best of Canada's artists - and especially painters. Four of McMichael's lower level galleries present painted works from the permanent collection - dedicating a room for each season: spring, summer, fall, and winter.

Tuugaaq: Ivory
A selection of harpoon heads from 1000 AD, a carved ivory knife, a carved ivory handle as well as animals and hunting scenes with hunters and their prey made from ivory alone or in combination with stone and wood are on display in this exhibition.
