Well not completely, we went specifically to see the Maud Lewis exhibit but we were somewhat disappointed with what was missing due to construction. The house was there as well as several paintings however there appeared to be some key items that were on loan elsewhere or in storage.
Other than Maude, I had a great opportunity to see Hiroshige’s the fifty three stations of the tokaido which was really unique and is only on until Mar 2019.

Its a great little art gallery in the heart of the City. The architecture is quite lovely as well.

been to the ns gallery many times over the years and have used the classromms for training, pavia does the lunch and they do a wonderful job. the building is beautiful piece of architecture on hollis and water sts. close to the ferry and province house. visit the maud lewis collection, it is memorable artistic folklore. we have rented from the art library, 100s of paintings to select from and decent prices. the gallery brings in selected themes and artists works throughout the year

This is a gem of a museum in the heart of downtown Halifax. One of the main reasons for visiting is it holds the restored home of Nova Scotia's foremost folk artist, Maud Lewis, which in and of itself is breathtaking. It is situated in a gallery explaining her life story, with some of her paintings, as well as a National Film Board documentary playing on continuous loop that is well work viewing. There was an temporary exhibit by Utagawa Hiroshige of woodcut paintings depicting the life of the middle class, and a permanent exhibit of paintings including some Group of Seven, and depictions of scenes of Nova Scotia. There have been renovations to the gallery which make it a very inviting The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia is well worth adding to the list of things to do while in Halifax.
