Transformation AGO, a creative architectural expansion by renowned architect Frank Gehry, was inspired by Ken Thomsons kind donation of 2,000 outstanding works of Canadian and European art in 2002. One of North Americas most lauded architectural accomplishments was produced by the 2008 completion of Transformation AGO. Highlights include Galleria Italia, a gleaming showcase of wood and glass that spans an entire city block, and the frequently photographed spiral staircase that invites visitors to explore. A day spent wandering these wondrous halls will instill in you a love of art and architecture. Each visit provides an opportunity to learn something new or to see one of the constantly changing exhibitions.
