National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa.
Museums and galleries in Ontario can open their doors Friday as the province moves to the third stage of its reopening plan.
The National Gallery of Canada will welcome visitors back Friday with four new exhibitions and installations.
Rembrandt in Amsterdam: Creativity and Competition puts the 17th-century Dutch painter in conversation with Indigenous and other contemporary artists, pointing to the colonial context of the artist's work and time period.
The Collectors’ Cosmos: The Meakins-McClaran Print Collection features more than 200 prints from artists as varied as Pieter Brueghel the Elder, Camille Pissarro and Jusepe Ribera. Two large-scale sculptures, Symphony, by Tau Lewis, and Capsule, by Rashid Johnson, are also on view.
Meanwhile, the Art Gallery of Ontario will reopen July 21. Visitors must book their tickets in advance here.
On view is a show about American pop artist Andy Warhol, another featuring Saskatchewan-born painter Ben Woolfitt, now based in Toronto and New York, and a third with works by Inuk artist Shuvinai Ashoona.
The Ottawa Art Gallery also reopens July 21. Admission is free, but visitors need to reserve a timed-entry ticket here.
More galleries are expected to announce their reopening plans in coming days.
