McMichael Canadian Art Collection

Top choice in Toronto


Handcrafted buildings (including painter Tom Thomson’s cabin, moved from its original location), set amid 40 hectares of conservation trails, contain works by Canada’s best-known landscape painters, the Group of Seven, as well as works by First Nations, Inuit, Métis and other acclaimed Canadian artists. It's a 34km, 45-minute drive from Toronto and totally worth the trip. A sculpture garden and the graves of gallery co-founders Robert and Signe McMichaels and six of the Group of Seven artists are also on-site.

Free tours are included with admission Wednesday to Sunday. Parking is $7.
