Beaverbrook Art Gallery

Frommer's Review

This surprisingly good museum overlooks the waterfront and is home to an impressive collection of British paintings, including works by Reynolds, Gainsborough, Constable, and Turner. Antiques buffs gravitate to the rooms with period furnishings and early decorative arts. Most visitors find themselves drawn to Salvador Dalí's massive Santiago El Grande, and studies for an ill-fated portrait of Winston Churchill. A new curator has brought in more controversial modern art exhibits of late; one focused on nudity, featuring various artistic perceptions of the unclothed human form, for example. But other shows have touched on more conventional ground, such as 19th-century French realism and a show on the cities of Canada drawn from The Seagram Collection. Stop by to find out what's currently on display.
