About
The McMichael Canadian Art Collection is an art museum in Kleinburg, a village within the city of Vaughan, north of Toronto. Its address is 10365 Islington Avenue, and the museum can be reached by phone at +1-905-893-1121.
The collection is devoted to Canadian art. It is best known for its holdings of work by the Group of Seven painters, whose landscapes of the Canadian wilderness are central to the country's visual history, and for its collection of Indigenous art. Visitors interested in how Canadian artists have depicted the land, and how Indigenous artists have expressed their own relationship to it, will find a focused and coherent body of work to explore.
