Art Gallery of Ontario

On Valentine's Day I was able to finally visit one of the largest museums of North America (Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO)) for the first time. Truthfully, I am not a huge fan of history and how things were made/created, however, something about the ancient Egyptian history (between 16th century B.C. to 11th century B.C.) I find extremely fascinating. From who the pharaohs worshiped, to the interesting calligraphy drawings/paintings that were discovered and translated, and ultimately, Cleopatra's and King Tutankhamun's artifacts that were discovered, which evidently proved their existence. 

This exhibit was not only based on the ancient Egyptian history, but King Tut's himself. Unfortunately, upon arrival I was informed that the King Tut Exhibit was sold out. Although there was definite disappointment because this exclusive exhibit is only available until April 18th, 2010, I still took this golden opportunity to explore the seventy-three thousand works in the museum's collection by famous artists such as: Group of Seven, Ken Thomson (1923-2006), Thomas Hart Benton, George Kenneth Hartwell, Henry Moore, and many more. All collections told their story in such a creative and unique form that it was absolutely mesmerizing. 

If you're not one whom understands arts, I would not exactly recommend for you to attend, only because you wont appreciate it as much as others would which will result in your own disappointment. However, for those who ARE interested in the different forms of art (whether it be European, American, Contemporary, Egyptian etc.) and is open to new ideas, I highly recommend for you to GO to the AGO. 

You'll have a great time!
