    Very nice museum

    Saw two presentations of Picasso's work, mostly etchings. It was nicely curated, and sorted in an inspirational setting. Nice permanent collection, too, especially Inuit Art.

    Great art, expensive admission

    Family rate was $46.00, and it was only 3 of us. It's not a huge gallery. It might look like it from the outside, but no. I could have spent more time and gotten my money's worth, but kids were bored and wouldn't give me...More

    A grand display of Native peoples art?

    Not really. Although the gallery has a large collection, only a small percentage is available for viewing. If you want to see native art and artefacts try elsewhere - Like The Museum across town

    The Art Gallery does not do that. You could call them to see if they know if anyone who would be interested in looking at your work
