About the Exhibitions
Ally McIntyre: Kindling uses animal protagonists to explore human caused climate collapse. By presenting animals as central figures, McIntyre challenges us to reconsider our place and impact in the world. Although humans are not prominently depicted in this exhibition, their presence is palpable, and it is evident that human actions pose the primary threat to the welfare of the animals.
This exhibition is presented by the RBC New Works Gallery.
All other exhibitions and our shopAGA will also be open.
Collectors' Cosmos: The Meakins-McClaran Print Collection provides a glimpse into the making of what became one of the foremost private collections of European prints in Canada. Built over the course of four decades, the core of this collection comprises a wealth of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Dutch and Flemish prints.
This exhibition is organized by the National Gallery of Canada.
