Our Stories – Connect with Art in Canada

A visit to the Gallery in 2017 won’t be complete without stopping by Our Stories. Engaging, interactive and fun, it’s a creative hub where visitors of all ages can immerse themselves in the worlds and artworks on view in Our Masterpieces, Our Stories. Create an iPad landscape in the style of an inspiring artist. Step into The Woolsey Family painting by William Berczy. Watch a video about art-making, take a digital quiz, or try a hands-on workshop. Just don’t miss the Our Stories experience!

 

In November 2017, the Our Stories learning centre won an International Design and Communication Award in the category Best Scenography for a Temporary Exhibition. Learn more
