Art Gallery of Ontario(AGO)

The moment I entered the Art Gallery of Ontario, I was captivated by the grand lobby's spiral staircase—the modern structure and classical exhibits so seamlessly blended! The exhibition of Canadian Indigenous art on the second floor held my attention the longest. The works, which used traditional symbols to speak to contemporary issues, were incredibly powerful. Occasionally, stumbling upon a Rodin sculpture or a Monet water lily, I felt like finding an Easter egg in a maze. The contemporary exhibition hall on the top floor was a bit difficult to navigate, but the twisted metal fixtures and whimsical fluorescent lighting made for photo ops. My only regret was that the lattes in the cafe were a bit pricey, but sitting by the high windows and gazing out at the streetscape was well worth it. It's a perfect place to spend a leisurely afternoon.

The Art Gallery of Ontario is a very attractive museum designed by the architect Frank Gehry. Its appearance is like a crystal ship, with a strong sense of modern art. The glass wall and glass wings on the north side of the main entrance glow under the lights at night, creating a beautiful scenery. The spiral staircase in the museum fully demonstrates Gehry's design talent.

The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) is one of the largest art museums in North America, located in Toronto, Canada. It houses a diverse collection of over 95,000 works, including European, Canadian, and contemporary art.

It is recommended to avoid peak hours and go early. I went there when it opened on Friday morning, so there was no need to queue up at all✌
