Art Gallery of Ontario(AGO)

Founded in 1900 by a group of private art lovers, the Art Gallery of Ontario has a collection of more than 80,000 art treasures from 100 BC to the present. The museum building itself also has a sense of design, and the top floor can also enjoy the beautiful view of Toronto city. There is a bronze sculpture in front of the museum, which was created by the British sculptor Henry Moore. On the cement building on the north side of the main entrance, there is a dazzling glass wall and a thin glass wing. The illumination of the light at night makes the whole glass building glow, becoming a beautiful landscape under the night. Floor distribution: There are five floors in the museum, and you can see the spiral staircase when you enter the lobby. This design fully demonstrates the talent of Frank Gehry. The first floor displays the European art collection, which includes a large collection of medieval and Renaissance art, such as paintings by Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony van Dyck, Claude Monet, and others. The second floor is the sculpture center of British sculptor Henry Moore. The Italian Pavilion is a place where photography is allowed and displays artworks by the well-known Italian artist Giuseppe Penone. The third floor is Baillie Court, which is mainly used to host various banquets, lectures and other activities. The fourth and fifth floors are mainly modern art, with collections of works of art by Duffy, Margaret, Picasso, Van Gogh, as well as modern art from Canada, the United States and Europe, including Andy Warhol, Claes ·Oldenberg, Jenny Holzer, and the works of the "Seven School of Painting" Inuit people with Canadian characteristics. On the basement floor is Thomson's ship model collection, which displays more than 150 beautifully crafted ship models of various styles from the 17th century to World War II.
