  It has a moderate focus on the group of seven and the 3 other famous Canadian artists which isn't to my taste exactly but if you like them then this is your place to be

  Once inside, you climb a long tall ramp to large circular space. The ceiling is so far above you that you feel like ant when you sit down. Through all the glass, you see the Parliament buildings again but also with great views of the Ottawa River and the City. It's a wonderful place to have lunch on occasions when it being served. If not, there is a spacious cafeteria which also has great views as well as more selection.

  I'd recommend budgeting about 3 hours to see almost everything in moderate depth.

  Always a nice place to be. Admission is reasonably priced for what you are seeing. There are no massively famous exhibits but that's not really to be expected in a museum with its focus

  The Gallery is always so spectacular to see resting on its own plaza and so near to the Parliament buildings. The architecture is beautiful with all the vertical sections of stone and glass.

  The National Gallery is always worth a visit when visiting Ottawa if you appreciate artistic interpretion in all forms from traditional to the very best in contemporary styles. It is easy to spend a day here without being conscious of the passage of time. The Gallery also offers a very good restaurant as well as an excellent gift shop to make your visit complete. If you appreciate innovative architectural design and interpretation, you will not be disappointed in this unique architectural gem when visiting our nation's capital.

  The gallery is clean, quiet and well maintained. It's security is nice as they are relaxed and never breath down your neck.

  Amazing building and architecture. Extremely spacious. All of the exhibits are amazing and unique, some being switched out seasonally and some being permanent. The prices of admission are fair and you aren't forcefully walked through the gift shop which is nice. They have a coat check area so you can ensure your items are safe.

  From there, you walk down a long tall hallway and then enter the galleries and the current exhibitions. On our most recent visit, we were thrilled to see some of the most recognizable work Group of Seven.

  We're from Kingston, Ontario and don't feel we've received full benefits from our federal taxes unless we've made at least one annual visit to Ottawa. And at the top of our list of places to visit is the National Gallery of Canada.

  I have never been so disappointed in a museum as I was in this one. If this art work is the best Canada has to offer then it needs a lot of help. The native work looks like pieces that no one wanted and therefore they donated. We lived in the north and the art work was incredible and this is a very poor representation. We frequent studios everywhere and we know Canada has many fabulous artists but not here. Sadly.
