Art Gallery of Ontario

The architect Frank Gehry grew up a few blocks from the Art Gallery of Ontario, and in 2008 he came back to reshape it, wrapping its Toronto front in a long curving sail of glass and Douglas fir. It was, he said, the first building he had ever designed in his home town.

Inside, the collection has two particular strengths. One is Henry Moore: in the 1970s the British sculptor, grateful to the city that had bought his work early, gave the gallery a great mass of his plasters and bronzes, and they fill a top-lit gallery of reclining figures. The other is Canadian painting, above all the Group of Seven, who in the 1920s went into the northern bush and came back with hard, bright landscapes that taught the country how to see itself.

The gallery also holds Rubens's Massacre of the Innocents, which in 2002 sold for one of the highest prices ever paid for an old master before a Canadian collector gave it here.
