I had a great visit to the AGO earlier this month and I think that the redesign by Gehry makes this a wonderful venue to visit. The main collections are: African & Oceanic, Canadian, Contemporary and European. There is a great exhibition of ship models in the basement.

the museum is undergoing construction and renovations. They have a few peices on display on the first floor and the sculpture gallery open on the third floor. I was extremely disappointed that after paying $8 I saw everything in like an hour. I generally love visiting musuems and can spend lots of time in them, but they really didn't have... more
