McMichael Canadian Art Collection

Beat the chill at these top spots for indoor fun in Toronto

Make the short drive to Kleinburg to experience the world’s largest collection of Group of Seven paintings at this 85,000 square-foot rustic stone lodge meets contemporary art gallery. Originally named Tapawingo by Robert and Signe McMichael, who built the beautiful pioneer-style estate in the 50s, the gallery now also includes substantial permanent collections featuring contemporary First Nations and Inuit art. Not to diss on our urban galleries, but with its vast sculpture garden and 10 acres of conservation land for the nature-seeking urbanite, when you’re at the McMichael, you’re just at a distinctly different ballgame.
