Excellent facility surrounded in quarried Tyndall stone. Unique architecture, great exhibits - nice gift shop - and do stop on the cafeteria floor (sorry - I think it was 3rd floor - for a nice outside stroll with a coffee. Lovely spot. Great history.

I am not really interested by Inuit art, although they had some nice pieces, but the norman Rockwell exhibition that was there was absolutely fabulous! And I could have stayed hours in fro of Stephen Hutchings's majestic paintings! I loved every single minute spent there and it was not too crowded so I could really enjoy the art pieces.

The art gallery brings in alot of interesting shows. I really enjoyed the norman rockwell exhibit. I'm not an art expert but I do enjoy wandering around the galleries. Some of the modern art exhibits I don't fully understand but there is always a little something for every one.

The building is an architectural delight - inside and outside. The collections and displays are tastefully mounted and arranged. Allow plenty of time to "drink in" what the WAG has to offer.
Note: parking can...

I love the WAG not just because I was married on the rooftop and had my reception in the main lobby but because it's chalk full of interesting art exhibits. You can't go wrong.

I really like visiting the WAG and really enjoyed the Rockwell exhibit last winter! The WAG also has a great Inuit art installation.

There have been some wonderful shows at the gallery, missed one this year hope to go again soon. Great spot to purchase prints and hand crafted art in Winnipeg. Also a fine concert spot for jazz
