    All the artworks on display in the museum are well kept. The artwork here seems to focus on indigenous culture, but the collection is particularly rich. The statue garden is my favorite. I really like to walk through the sculpture garden at the end of the day. The park is very peaceful.

    The environment is very good and the scenery is very beautiful. There are many green plants that are not easy, but I have enough of the noise of the city and can come here for a break!

    McMac Canada Art Museum hidden in the suburban forest of the art hall If you are an art lover, don't miss the small town of Kleinburg in Vaughanwang, a suburb of Toronto, because there is an unknown the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, which can be called the master of the seven-person painting of the Canadian national treasure. The gallery in the forest on the northern outskirts of Toronto is a large and spacious exhibition hall built of logs and natural stone, reflecting the traditional Canadian architectural style. The pleasant scenery outside the museum and the art collection in the museum are coordinated into a rare artistic atmosphere. Walking through the elegant and quaint gallery, through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows, overlooking the Humber Valley, the dense forest retains the most primitive natural style in Canada. The pavilion consists of 13 galleries, with nearly 6,000 works, mainly collecting works of art by 20th-century Canadian artist Tom Thomson, seven-person painting group Tom Thomson, Inuit Inuit and Aboriginal people. The works of the seven-person painting school are mainly based on the local natural landscape of Canada. The love of wild land is full of wild land. Through strong color contrast, the bold stroke, exaggerated lines, full volume and rich decorativeness to capture the Canadian soul. Vividly depicts the iconic landscapes of lakes, forests, open lands, mountains, blue sky, white clouds, winds on Canadian soil. Their love of nature has stimulated Canadians' interest and love for their land of life, and is one of the important sources of strength of the Canadian national spirit. The gallery also exhibits a large number of works by Canadian painter Maud Lewis, whose paintings are full of warmth, always sunny feelings, known as the “world without shadows”. She loves animals, especially cats, which are memories of her childhood home. Cars and cow carts are also common things in paintings. She also painted many plants, whether flowers or trees, which do not necessarily match the vitality of the season. That is the world she feels, and all seasons have its beauty, so that everyone who sees her works warm. If you come to this art gallery on a fine day, you may as well take a walk on the beautiful forest trail, and there are many open-air sculptures worth seeing in the park; tired of walking outdoors, then go to the exhibition hall to have a cup of coffee, quiet a daze, everything is so refreshing.

    This gallery in Toronto is hidden in the forest. In Canada, a vast country with 45% of the land covered by forests, there are 46 unique national parks. Picturesque, mountains, clear lakes... The vast natural talent is the "most" Canada! The same is true of the artwork here. Today I would like to recommend to everyone an art museum hidden in the forest on the outskirts of Toronto. Robert and Signe McMichael, who love art in the background, have a common dream: to build an art museum to showcase Canadian art. The couple founded a photo sales company in the 1950s, winning the first barrel of gold, and they bought a holiday home in the Humber Valley, where they acquired the "Seven Paintings" and several works by other Canadian artists. As the collection grew, the forest huts began to expand. In 1965, the McMichaels and his wife gave the beautiful land and forest huts and paintings to the Ontario government. The following year, the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, which features Canadian art, was officially opened. 👨‍🎨 Who is the seven-person painting? In 1913, several like-minded Canadian painters, although most of them were influenced by European impressionists, but they soon found that the soft brush, color and light and shadow replacement, can not fully show the wildness and coldness of Canada's nature, so they formed a group, On May 7, 1920, the exhibition was held at the Toronto Art Museum in the name of "Seven Painting School". The seven-person painting school was not only seven people, but a total of 10 people were in and out, and it was kept at 7 people. 🌲 The green plants in the building are refreshing, and the forest wooden houses made of stones and wood are natural and everything around them. Into the interior, the wood ceiling and stone walls are extended from the outside to the interior; Large floor-to-ceiling windows, the sun and tree shadows are unreserved... Every window is full of mottled eyes and birds, I really want to sit by the window all day, just feel the transformation of light and shadow. 🎨 At present, the art gallery consists of 13 galleries covering an area of about 8,000 square meters, with a total of more than 6,000 pieces, from seven-person paintings to ethnic art of the Inuit (Eskimos), and then to contemporary Canadian art; The most not to miss is the work of seven-person painting Tom Thomson, noting that his exhibition hall is prohibited from taking pictures. 🍴 Other areas of the McMichael Museum of Art also include artist's creation room, report hall, temporary exhibition hall, gift department, etc. It is worth mentioning that the restaurant dishes in the museum are simple, but the cooking is extremely delicious. We ordered macaroni and salad, they were delicious and the price/performance ratio was not bad! Tips:Address:10365 Islington Avenue Kleinburg ON L0J 1C0,Canada
