The Best Museums

Art Gallery of Ontario: Still fresh a few years after a top-to-bottom renovation -- and reinvention -- by Toronto-born Frank Gehry, The AGO is a wonder (the fabulous, circular, floating staircase is especially impressive). There's a lot to see here; the collection numbers 79,450 pieces and growing. Don't miss the Thomson Collection; central to the AGO, it spans 20 rooms and includes an unparalleled collection of great Canadian art.

Royal Ontario Museum: Good for the whole family, especially with the massive dinosaur collection and creepy bat cave, the impressive exhibits also include Chinese temple art, Roman statues, and Middle Eastern mosaics.

Ontario Science Centre: You don't have to be a tyke to appreciate the impressive interactive displays here that take in the realm of science disciplines, from biology to technology, and make them fun and interactive.

Stephen Bulger Gallery : If you're interested in fine-art photography, especially in the documentary tradition, this is the place to go in Toronto. The Gallery displays Canadian and international photography, both by established artists and up-and-comers, from Ruth Orkin to Pete Doherty.
