I went there for the first time, and I was impressed with the displays. The place is not that big, but the exhibits are varied and interesting. I will certainly come back for a second visit. The only negative comment (sort of) that I would like to make is that I found some of the descriptions of the exhibits are a little bit confusing. I was not sure at times which description was related to which display.

Jodie as the event organiser and Helena the chef and all of their amazing staff created a gorgeous and memorable wedding on October 5th. We used every inch of the beautiful space from the sculpture garden to the Ross Fisher Gallery to the Pavillion and all exhibits in between. Our 160 plus guests loved the food and all the spaces. Truly a wonderful experience.

The single most boring art gallery I have ever been in. I have heard they have an impressive permanent collection. but for some reason they choose not to show any of it.
Don't waste your time here.

Spent some quality time at AGH- Hamilton. This is an outstanding art exhibition venue with lots to see for a layman and a art critic. It is small but stands out for a city like Hamilton which has lot of potential but neglected by provincial and federal level of governments. For art lovers, tourists and those with some free time this place is worth visiting.

Our first visit to this gallery. We really enjoyed the special exhibit on Canadian comic book art - well put together and simply fascinating. The rest of gallery is really good as well. The permanent collection has some real gems and would make it worth the visit alone, for any art enthusiast. A nice building with a decent gallery shop.

Spacious galleries, beautiful permanent collection. AGH attracts impressive exhibits from around the world while nurturing it's connections to its community. From film programming to art education and social events, AGH is a true community hub. Visitors shouldn't miss the café or the gift shop, either - local artists' and artisans' works are sold their, offering very personal and unique gifts that will support the arts in Hamilton directly.

Located in the centre of Hamilton, this art gallery displays some beautiful drawings, and an evolving bus creation.
We got there due to an origami collection that actually closes today.
This is an international top level of artists who creates anything but paper cranes.

The Art Gallery of Hamilton is neither ostentatious nor huge. Odds are pretty good that if you go to museums you've been to one that is more grand.
That being said, this is a great little gem. On a recent visit I was impressed by a few things that you might appreciate...
1. The Kim Adams Bruegel-Bosch Bus display is remarkable and worth the visit by itself.
2. The museum honours its town with art and history displays from Hamilton.
3. The space is beautiful inside and very manageable, including a small space for kids. Have an impatient partner or a non-museum-loving teen? They can appreciate this museum without being overwhelmed. You can be in and out in an hour if you choose.
4. The volunteer staff are truly helpful, patient, and nice.
5. On Sundays (open until 5) you can park for free in a nearby city lot.

If you want to see what can be done with colour you need to see the Cezanne still life exhibit.
I have seen several Cezanne's in other exhibits but particularly liked the focus of this show.
