It's nice to have an upgraded space for visual art in Edmonton... Particularly appreciate the student membership (very affordable) that gets you into openings, etc... Great to get more touring exhibitions as well...
Awesome structure both inside and out and the exhibits were thought provoking and beautifully presented. I wish more buildings were this creatively and functionally designed. It would make cities a lot more interesting to visit. Congratulations, Edmonton.
We went to see the dutch landscape artists! There was lots to see and there was even a Van Gough on display. The tour was nice and our tour guide was very friendly and helpful. Afterwards we went to the gift shop which always has really cool stuff.

The agreement with the national...

I've been to the gallery three or four times now, and every time I'm disappointed. There have been a few very good exhibits, but they tend to be quite small, and I don't feel like the admission price is worth the experience. This is coming from an art and gallery lover!
If you are interested in art, run, do not walk, to the AGA. The building is to die for. The quality of the exhibits is excellent. The gift store has all sorts of treasures I have not seen elsewhere. If you are hungry, nosh at Zinc restaurant which is right in the building, but call ahead first. There are often...
