Just go and you will see why you were happy you did. This space is inviting, airy, serene, and filled with hundreds of intriguing works of art. Take your time, wander. The cafeteria is a bustling place offering some super tasty choices, and bustling with excited voices of interesting vistors. Go!

Went to the gallery specifically to see Canadian Art. There was plenty of it but hardly any details concerning the paintings themselves. Room after Room of anonymous art does not enhance the visit
