Should you go to the AGO?

The dawn of a 'new' gallery is upon us. Is it a good thing? or a bad thing?

You could find out by reading Toronto Star Architecture critic Christopher Hume's lauding review of the renovation. Or by reading the criticism it's drawing from local contemporary artists. Or, find out what Frank Gehry thinks of his own work here.

You can also view 360 degree virtual tours of the Galleria Italia, and Walker Court Stairs. And another sort of tour here.

Or, you could find out yourself! This weekend the AGO is open to all...with events and entertainment for free!

Want to learn more about the AGO, Frank Gehry, or some of the AGO's featured artists, like Frank Stella? Check out the display of books, DVDs and articles on the counter in the library!
