Description
The Vancouver Art Gallery (VAG) is the fifth-largest art gallery in Canada and the largest in Western Canada. Its permanent collection of over 9,100 items includes more than 200 major works by Emily Carr, the Group of Seven, and illustrations by Marc Chagall.
The location of the Vancouver Art Gallery was once used as a courthouse and today houses some of the most spectacular works of art in the city. The art found in the gallery will include works by some of the most famous artists and there are also works of art by new and upcoming artists and is a perfect way for the family visiting Vancouver to enjoy the day.
There are also exhibits that are on loan from other art galleries that would often be missed, because of where they are usually located, like Rembrandts Golden Age of Dutch Art that is usually at home in Rijksumuseum in Amsterdam. There are also works of photograph art by some of the world’s most famous photographic artists, like Andreas Gursky of Dusseldorf Germany.
