AGO: Frank Gehry’s redesign

By Jean • Jun 12th, 2009 • Category: Travel & Hotspots

An extraordinary new home for an extraordinary gallery

The new AGO is Toronto-born Frank Gehry’s first building in Canada and marks the very place where he made the initial connection between art and architecture. Hallmarks of his AGO design connect the city and the Gallery in provocative new ways including, dramatic sculptural staircases, the warmth of Douglas fir, and the extensive use of glass which infuses the galleries with natural light.
