Another nice place to see in Fredericton. A good collection of art. We spent few hours and enjoyed. They also run art camps for children.

Although I've lived in the Fredericton region for several years, I don't think I'd been to the art gallery since going on a class trip more than a few years back. My partner and I went as a part of his birthday celebrations (he'd been wanting to go) and it was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The... More

My Daughter and drove to see the Dali off on It's tour. We were disappointed that the Dali was already crated up but enjoyed our visit to the museum and the music provided. The staff were very pleasant.

My visit to the Beaverbrook Art Gallery was especially to take in the huge Salvador Dali painting that's depicted next to the name here on TripAdvisor. Don't be afraid to lay on the floor to appreciate the depth of this painting. In fact, the staff encourage it! One wing of the building was closed during our visit as an exhibit... More

I love cruising around this place. The staff are friendly, the exhibits are interesting, and (bonus!) UNB students can get in for free.

This gallery is a hidden gem - well worth the stop and a great Salvador Dali collection (I'm a fan). Reasonable and enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.

Though the Beaverbrook Art Gallery is not particularly large, the collection includes a number of first-rate pieces, dominated by the enormously impressive Dali picture. But other 20th-century work, including Canadian art, as well as older works by names such as Turner, Gainsborough and many earlier artists (going back to late medieval times) make it a fascinating and worthwhile visit.
