Art Museums/Galleries in Toronto

Toronto supports a thriving artist and art-patron scene, making it an ideal centre for exploring Canada's collection of both a world-renowned and local work. The permanent exhibits of major galleries like the AGO feature big names in Canadiana as well as international icons, while hundreds of small galleries throughout the city actively promote, show (and successfully sell) the work of emerging artists. Whether you're a history buff, staunchly contemporary, looking to buy, looking to look, or looking for inspiration, Toronto's art and gallery scene is an active, vibrant element of the city's cultural community. Even better: this community is one that can be accessed in many ways. From street art, to storefront gallery spaces, to Harbourfront studios and institutions like the AGO, guests are spoiled for choice. Side-note to the alt-interested: Thursdays are "the" night to catch openings in the hip, small galleries that line artist-haven Queen and Ossington Streets.
