"One hundred forested acres along the Humber River that were once home to the Ojibwe Anishinaabe People now set the scene for a singular mix of art, culture, and nature. The McMichael is dedicated to celebrating the art of Canada—it’s the only publicly-funded institution in the country to do so—so you’ll find works from the First Nations, Inuit, and Metis on to the Group of Seven and contemporary artists. The museum was born of the private collection of photographer Robert McMichael and his wife Signe, who began amassing Canadian works in 1952, then donated their home and 194 paintings to the province in 1965." - Sandra Ramani
