Winnipeg Art Gallery

First visit to the re-vamped gallery. It is a small gallery, with a good collection of soapstone? carvings displayed in a 'visual vault', and an eclectic mixture of old European paintings, furniture, older Canadian paintings and contemporary displays

It's definitely a recommendation for anyone looking for something to do on the weekend or when your free. Spent a good 3 or 4 hours there looking at all the art... They even have a gift shop there too.

My recent trip to WAG-Qaumajuq to see the Inuit art collection was pretty amazing! As a lover of art, I was blown away by the creativity and skill of the Inuit artists. The way the pieces were presented was super cool and I learned a lot about the culture and history behind each one. Plus, the staff were so friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. If you're looking for a unique and inspiring way to spend an afternoon, definitely check out the WAG-Qaumajuq.

Didn’t get to spend a lot of time, visited for a coffee in the space and was blown away by the new vertical curation of Indigenous art.I’m most angry that I didn’t have time to visit what was clearly a fantastic shop, bright beautiful and a lot of unique items.I’ll be back!

March 2023I am not an art gallery lover, but today as a tourist in Winnipeg, my day was enjoyable.Admission on the second Sunday of every month is free thanks to Canada Life. The museum was apparently busier than usual, but not crowded.The main floor has an impressive collection of indigenous sculptures. Then the upper floors have permanent and temporary exhibits like any other gallery.The 150th Anniversary exhibit of the Winnipeg Free Press was my favourite area because I could relate to it. Interesting information, and a table where one could create a newspaper article using stamp pads and crayons.There was also a book reading that day in the main floor atrium of a children's book read by the author. She was inspired to write this book by her daughters. This was well attended by patrons, and the book was available to purchase, and of course it could be signed by the author.The gift store had amazing items to purchase at mostly amazing prices. Often original or unique pieces are for display only. Not here though. One could purchase a beautiful original carving for as little as $23,000 CDN. Moccasins, posters, artwork, books, jewelry.....

Very wheelchair accessible, though the gift shop might be a bit tight, automatic doors, medium sized storage lockers near reception.Went during Canada Life Free Sundays (April 2023) and it was a great way to spend time, as always. Staff has always been friendly and helpful in my experience, and exhibits are interesting.

There was a change of exhibit happening but honestly that didn’t make me the experience less than amazing. I really loved the way it flowed and the choice of pieces that were displayed. And the gift shop has some fun hidden gems.

World class art gallery especially with it's collection of indigenous and Inuit art, which boasts one of the largest collections on the continent. Beautiful building, that should be seen to be appreciated! Under-valued and often overlooked tourist attractions in the city.
