Interesting and informative museum / gallery where we learned about the work of the Group of Seven and the story and intrigue of Artist Tom Thomson. Lovely exhibits and the centre is set in beautiful grounds... worth a visit.

What a wonderful place to visit. Lovely art museum, lovely outdoor strolls. nice mix of Group of Seven (permanent) exhibits and other exhibits. Especially great for a family because of the outdoor space where young kids can burn off some energy. We didn't eat there - went into town for lunch and came back to explore the grounds - but the cafe looked nice.

The two special exhibitions currently featured were the driving motivation for today’s gallery visit. The Mattise works of art were in our opinion second tier but their use in conjunction with the focus on Morrice and Lyman made the advertising forgivable. We had some frustrations with the audio guide element using our phones and the selected pictures were not numbered in a logical manner in terms of traffic flow. The staff however were most helpful in the “audio scavenger hunt”. Signage was in both official languages. We enjoyed the learning experience and were pleased to see a good turnout of patrons, perhaps last minute art aficionados not wanting to miss this show which ends soon. The Eyes on Quebec is not to be missed as the second special attraction. The last of the artistic trilogy is of course the permanent collection which needs no introduction. We did not realize that there is a $5 parking charge in addition to the gallery admission but not unreasonable as the grounds looked well-kept despite the time of year. An excellent choice for our wedding anniversary day excursion!

Knowledgable guides who are very welcoming. Just don't let your hand or foot stray too close to the paintings or they will turn from nice kitty cats to growling tigers. :-) Wish the weather had been nicer. It would have been a fun afternoon inside and out. The restaurant was very nice, too.

It is an art gallery of the famous 7 Canadian artists. Not so interesting for younger children would be boring.

We went primarily because the special exhibition on Morrice and Lyman in the Company of Matisse will close at the end of next week. Do make an effort to see it. There are several works by Matisse, but the show focuses on two Montreal painters who deserve more attention than they've had, J.W. Morrice and John Lyman. Many of their works are very fine. The show "Eyes on Quebec" complements it, because it is a collection on works from the 19th century, including several Krieghoffs, well into the 20th, with several spectacular paintings by Jean Paul Riopelle as well as a number of attractive works by Clarence Gagnon and Jean Paul Lemieux among others. It will be at the McMichael until February 1. Both shows should be seen if you have the chance.

I hadn't been years. I was with my mom and my two children (ages eight and 10). We went to see the special exhibition on Matisse but also enjoyed the Group of Seven collection. The museum may want to consider being more child and youth friendly. There was a good film on Tom Thompson; however, more interactive exhibits would help inspire interest for the younger set. Many museums strive to interest all ages, so too should the McMichael Gallery. Note: Juno Beach Museum in Normandy is an excellent example.

The McMichael Art Gallery was surprisingly an excellent visit for me. There is some very nice art collections on display, a great tour a place to eat and trails on site with great scenery.
