The McMichael is renowned for its devotion to collecting and exhibiting only Canadian art.
Distinctly Canadian
Our permanent collection consists of almost 6,000 artworks by Tom Thomson, the Group of Seven, their contemporaries, and First Nations, Inuit and other artists who have made a contribution to Canada’s artistic heritage.
The gallery was founded by Robert and Signe McMichael, who began collecting paintings by the Group of Seven and their contemporaries in 1955. Learn more about the history of the gallery. More Info
