Winnipeg Art Gallery: Difference between revisions

The '''Winnipeg Art Gallery''' (WAG) is a public art gallery that was founded in 1912. It is Western [[Canada]]'s oldest civic gallery and the 6th largest in the country. The WAG is located in the heart of the city of [[Winnipeg]], just two blocks from [[Manitoba]]'s [[Manitoba_Legislative_Building|Provincial Legislature]] and roughly the same distance from the [[University of Winnipeg]].

 

 

The WAG's permanent collection includes over 23,000 works, with a particular emphasis on Manitoba and [[Canada|Canadian]] art. The collection ranges from 16th century [[Flanders|Flemish]] tapestries to 21st century videos, and includes the world's largest public collection of contemporary [[Inuit]] art. Historical, contemporary, photographic, decorative art, and Inuit works are featured in a variety of exhibitions each year, with each of the ten gallery spaces changing approximately every three months.
