Art Gallery of Ontario
The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) is located in downtown Toronto, in the Grange Park district with a magnificent collection of over 68,000 works of art that span the 1st century to the current day sitting on 480,000 square feet of space that includes the world's biggest collection of Canadian art that showcases the development of the nation's heritage from pre-Confederation days to the current period. Over half of this magnificent collection is made up of Canadian artists' works, along with an outstanding collection of European artworks, that contains the most significant collection of medieval and renaissance decorative arts outside of Europe and the United States. Some of the more famous works include those created by Tintoretto, Frans Hals, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Pablo Picasso, Peter Paul Rubens, Auguste Rodin, Rembrandt van Rijin, Emile Antoine Bourdelle, Edgar Degas, Thomas Gainsborough, Vincent van Gogh and Anthony van Dyck. As if that isn't enough to bring every art lover to the museum, it also houses one of the most impressive collections of African art in North America, as well as a contemporary art collection that illustrates the evolution of modern artistic movements in Canada, the US and Europe that includes works by Andy Warhol, Jenny Holzer and Claes Oldenburg. And if that doesn't pique your curiosity and appetite, then perhaps the Henry Moore sculpture center will since it contains the biggest public collection of works by this British sculptor. His bronze work, Two Large Forms created in 1966 through 1969 welcomes visitors at the museum's north facade. And today, in keeping with web 2.0 trends, the AGO has started a social media site called Collection X that offers users a place to share ideas about life and art, as well as showcasing the works of contemporary photographers and visual artists; offering users the ability to discuss the works, upload their own content and create online exhibitions.
