Finding David Milne: New AGO Milne Centre and Archives

Marvin Gelber Print & Drawing Study Centre, Art Gallery of Ontario

Join Amy Furness, Special Collections Archivist and David Wistow, Interpretive Planner, and discover the Art Gallery of Ontario's newly opened “study centre” devoted to the Canadian artist, David Milne (1882-1953). This experimental initiative argues for the central role of archives in the museum. Approximately 3,000 sketches, letters, notebooks, early canvases and watercolours from all stages of the artist's career are gathered in one dedicated space. Visitors can access the collection through a multiplicity of entry points including visible storage as well as interactive computer technology and video clips showing interviews, location footage and biographical information.
