This Week at Agnes

Visit

Late Night Thursdays are back!

This week we return to our usual hours and will be open 10 am to 9 pm on Thursdays, allowing greater access for our visitors. If you haven’t visited in a while, see our visit and visitor policy pages to review hours and changes.

This season, we present two new solo exhibitions featuring contemporary artists: Shannon Bool: Modernism and Its Discontents and Chantal Rousseau: Tap Dancing Seagull and Other Stories. Three further exhibitions, Rembrandt and Company, Nocturne and Garden Studies explore Agnes’s rich historical and contemporary collections with fresh outlooks.

Installation view of Nocturne, an exhibition that explores the night in the Canadian artistic imaginary.
