Art Gallery of Nova Scotia

Great experience. Maud Lewis house inside the gallery. I visited with my 6 year old son and they gave me a bingo to play and make for a fun visit

Went during Thursday evening, when they offer free admission 5-9pm. Enjoyed our visit, especially their selection of indigenous art. Street parking was impossible to find, but managed to find a parking lot nearby. They have a cute gift shop by the entrance.

This was one of our highlights from our Halifax trip. The gallery is affordable (only $12!) and includes so much. The exhibitions were incredible, and the staff went above and beyond when it came to returning our lost wallet. Don't miss this experience when you're in Halifax!

It’s a beautiful building from outside and very friendly people inside. I’m really grateful to the canoo app that the visit was free.

Located up a few blocks from the waterfront is this museum. Awkwardly separated between 2 old and dark buildings, one must trounce up / down many flights of stairs, with exhibits spread across mostly small, weird sized rooms clearly designed for other original purposes. Compared to other museums we visited, this was expensive (12CAD / $9USD each) for the size and offerings (this was a 30 minute visit for us). The Maud Lewis exhibit was great and worth half the admission price alone, but most of the rest was of mixed results for us (granted all art is super subjective to the beholder). Two large modern art exhibits take up the largest viewing area amongst the facilities. Despite guidebooks saying this museum owned a large collection of Annie Leibovitz photographs, not a SINGLE one was on display. Instead we got plastic iceberg floor art and a number of unknown artist (literally) paintings. A significant amount of First Nation art is displayed here, which is wonderful to have it supported and displayed, but the volume of it here may not be what the average person expects in a generic art museum that doesn't advertise that as a focal area. We saw some stuff we liked and happy to support the arts but we likely wouldn't recommend to friends at this price with the current items they have on display.

I had an absolute blast as we explored all the exhibits, searching for items on our bingo card within the paintings and sculptures.

We visited to experience the Maud Lewis exhibition, and alongside it, the traveling Maud Lewis exhibit was on display as well. Additionally, there's a dedicated Indigenous section featuring captivating artworks, accompanied by various historical pieces interspersed throughout the galleries.

An incredible art gallery situated in the center of downtown Halifax! The scavenger hunt bingo is enjoyable for all ages, not just limited to children.

Love the art gallery. Always something new and intriguing to see. The Maud Lewis gallery
Is a favorite.

Small, but the space is used extremely well, giving a wide variety of exhibits. I especially give credit to the staff who managed to deflate an extremely racist woman complaining that Indigenous people exist.

Awesome art gallery in the heart of downtown Halifax! The scavenger hunt bingo is not just for kids. My husband and I had a blast going through all the exhibits and looking for the items on our bingo card in the paintings and sculptures.

Good collection and loved the Maude Lewis exhibit. Fairly accessible with elevators and ramps. Only one wheelchair was available when we visited.

The admission is worth it to see the Maud Lewis exhibit. Very fascinating history and art.

Small gallery but it has a well-curated collection. Loved seeing Maud Lewis’s house and a huge beautiful Kent Monkman piece.

The Maud Lewis exhibit always wonderful to visit no matter how many times I have enjoyed it

Maud Lewis exhibit was great, as were some of the very old art. Some of it was just strange.
