Close Looking: The View from the Art Gallery of Toronto in 1921
Join Marilyn Nazar, AGO Archivist, and Amy Furness, Rosamond Ivey Special Collections Archivist and Head, Library & Archives, as they examine a set of snapshots in the AGO Archives that form a panoramic view from the front door of the newly-opened gallery building in 1921. We will take a close look at the photographic evidence and consider what it can tell us about the early gallery, the historic moment at which it emerged, and its place in our neighbourhood.
