This museum renewal was initiated in response to the deterioration of the gallery’s concrete building envelope, which was impeding its ability to showcase a significant collection of Canadian art, and to attract international exhibitions. Rather than limit the solution to correcting the leaky exterior, the problem created an opportunity to catalyse a broader vision to reposition the AGH as a major cultural destination in Ontario and to participate in the city’s revitalization strategy.
