McMichael Canadian Art Collection
The McMichael Canadian Art Collection is located on the original lands of the Ojibwe Anishinaabe and Huron-Wendat People. It is uniquely situated along the Carrying Place Trail which historically provided an integral connection for Indigenous people between Ontario's Lakeshore and the Lake Simcoe-Georgian Bay Region.
The McMichael Canadian Art Collection is located in the charming Village of Kleinburg, approximately 35 minutes north of Toronto. Use the Google Map tool below to get directions to the gallery – by public transit, car, or bike! – from wherever you are.
The McMichael's permanent collection consists of more than 7,000 artworks by Tom Thomson, the Group of Seven, their contemporaries, and First Nations, Métis, Inuit and contemporary artists who have contributed to the development of Canadian art.
