National Gallery of Canada

Experience the best visual art in the country at this magnificent building located in the heart of Canada’s Capital Region. The panoramic views of the Ottawa River and Parliament Hill, and the spacious galleries, gardens and courtyards, make this award-winning architectural gem in itself worth the visit. As the permanent home of the world’s largest and most comprehensive collection of Canadian art, the National Gallery is the country’s finest art museum and a top attraction in Ottawa.

The National Collection includes a large number of works by the Group of Seven, and rich collections of European, contemporary, Indigenous and Inuit art.

The National Gallery of Canada offers curriculum-linked guided tours, workshops, and discovery visits. Students learn to observe and make personal connections with works of art in the national collection.
