AGO: Art Gallery of Ontario


A few days ago, to be precise it is on the 17th, I had a trip to the Art Gallery of Ontario, AGO. It was absolutely fascinating. The tour guides who took us on a tour of the building also taught us about its architecture. The architectural design was to appear as a tourist attraction or resort that one would normally associate with Europe. The back is designed like an upside down canoe and has a great view. Further more, the spiral stairs are just a wonderful work of art that is incorporated into stairs. The spiral effect is really something to look at. The AGO may bring in many tourists to Toronto and it may serve to better define Toronto's multicultural system. Personally, I think that the AGO is also a great place for learning all kinds of arts since you can sketch the 3D sculptures there and also view some of the various paintings.
