Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto - Art Gallery of Ontario Guide

The Art Gallery of Ontario (the AGO) reopened in November 2008 after its spaces were transformed by architect Frank Gehry. The transformed AGO features Gehry's trademark use of Douglas Fir and glass, which gives the building warmth and drama.

The AGO features the following:

• Henry Moore sculpture gallery – the largest public collection of works by this British sculptor
• Masterpieces by Anthony van Dyck, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh and many others
• Pivotal works by major Canadian artists, including Emily Carr and members of the Group of Seven
• Peter Paul Rubens' The Massacre of the Innocents was added as part of the AGO transformation
• Contemporary works demonstrating major Canadian, American and European art movements, including those by Claes Oldenburg, Andy Warhol, and General Idea

• 317 Dundas Street West
