I was so excited to find that this museum is free and has fantastic art in it. We saw works by Modigliani, Picasso, Degas, Matisse, Dali, Group of Seven, Emily Carr... All for free!

What a surprise! Great art and free admission! The visiting exhibition required a fee if you wanted to see that.

We went to see the exhibit and found it extremely interesting. The free guided tours are well worth waiting for. If not you can have audioguides at $5.oo each( I think this should be included in the admission fee ) but is not. The guided tours can end up with big groups so go early and when the tour is...
