The National Gallery
of Canada collects, preserves and presents art that is intended for the
people of Canada to enjoy. The Gallery collects art from many different
times and places. Each work of art can be enjoyed on it’s own and
can also be seen as a permanent record of the best of human achievements.
Art reflects the times in which it is created and expands our understanding
of our own experiences.

Gallery’s Web site to learn more about its exhibitions, art
