The McMichael Art Gallery is located on the original lands of the Ojibwe Anishinaabe People. It is uniquely situated along the Carrying Place Trail which historically provided an integral connection for Aboriginal people between Ontario's Lakeshore and the Lake Simcoe-Georgian Bay Region. As an institution McMichael recognizes the importance of acknowledging the original territories of the Ojibwe Anishinaabe First Nations people.
Our enthusiasm had been infectious and persuaded many of those who shared our vision to give us their paintings. It was an extraordinary demonstration of trust that turned our plans from a personal desire for the fulfillment of our ideas to a deeply felt moral obligation. The story of the McMichael Canadian Art Collection begins in 1952, when Robert and Signe McMichael purchased ten acres of land in the village of Kleinburg, Ontario.

Came here this past Thursday for the first time. The gallery was very clean and nicely run by their members. Compared to bigger galleries such as the AGO, McMichael was much quieter but it definitely was just as nice. For $5 a ticket if you are under 25 and $7 for day parking, you can’t go wrong!

Drove more than an hour in the snow to visit this place and it was all worth it. The art on display is so amazing because they have such distinct styles. So Canadian. Everything is so well laid out, the descriptions were very well done and the ambience was just perfect.
The Group of Seven displays were the last exhibit and they were fantastic. I've always admired their work but today, I realized how many other super talented female Canadian artists there were. I also appreciated their perspectives compared to the male artists.
Just two gripes:
Price: The parking fee was unnecessarily high at

A comprehensive permanent collection of the renowned Group of 7, insightful temporary exhibitions presenting emerging artists and bringing new views of modern collections are running as well (can be visited with the same ticket). All presented in a neat curatorial setting and within a great architectural interior space. The space outside of the museum is very large and includes trails, nice landscape for walks.

A wonderful gallery to see many different selection of art from back in the day. They also focus on some of the women during the time that didn't get as much recognition

It's a beautiful property. Viewing the lovely depths of the surrounding forest was almost as lovely as viewing the artwork! Great outdoor installations.

It had been a number of years since going to the McMichael. It was the featured display of Uprising: The Power of Mother Earth
Christi Belcourt—A Retrospective with Isaac Murdoch that brought me and family. The gallery was nicely spaced for visitors during the Pandemic and was fortunate to attend before the third wave stay at home order. We will come back when there are featured art we admire.
