The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) has been added to the Toronto CityPASS program, expanding visitor access to one of Canada’s preeminent cultural institutions. CityPASS, the first bundled attraction ticketing program in North America, offers significant savings on combined admission to top attractions across 17 major cities in the United States and Canada.
The AGO, founded in 1900, is one of North America’s largest art museums, with a collection of more than 120,000 works spanning contemporary art, works by Indigenous and Canadian artists, and European masterpieces. Highlights include the world’s largest public collection of Henry Moore sculptures, Peter Paul Rubens’ The Massacre of the Innocents, and Pablo Picasso’s La misereuse accroupie (The Crouching Woman) from his Blue Period. The Thomson Collection of Shipmodels and landscapes by Emily Carr and the Group of Seven are also on view, alongside Yayoi Kusama’s immersive installation INFINITY MIRRORED ROOM - LET'S SURVIVE FOREVER.
The AGO is currently undergoing its seventh expansion, the Dani Reiss Modern and Contemporary Gallery, set to complete in 2027, which will increase exhibition space for its modern and contemporary collection. Beyond its permanent collection, the AGO offers programming for all ages, including live performances, talks, and family-friendly activities at the Dr. Mariano Elia Hands-On Centre. Dining options range from the AGO Bistro to the Espresso Bar, and the Shop AGO offers artisan jewelry and art-inspired gifts.
