L\u2019architecte Leo Venchiarutti con\u00e7oit la demeure originale des McMichael en 1954, ainsi que les agrandissements successifs en 1963, 1967, 1969 et 1972.<\/p>\n<p>Sensibles \u00e0 l\u2019environnement naturel, les McMichael commencent \u00e0 collectionner des \u0153uvres de Tom Thomson et du Groupe des Sept, des artistes qui puisaient \u00e9galement leur inspiration dans les paysages sauvages. Au d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 1960, des centaines de personnes visitent d\u00e9j\u00e0 la galerie priv\u00e9e du couple, alors en pleine expansion. En 1965, la collection comprend 194 tableaux, certains acquis par les McMichael, d\u2019autres offerts par de g\u00e9n\u00e9reux donateurs ainsi que par les artistes eux-m\u00eames.<\/p>\n<p>Devant l\u2019ampleur et l\u2019importance croissantes de leur collection, le couple r\u00e9alise qu\u2019il est le gardien d\u2019un tr\u00e9sor national. En 1965, les McMichael proposent de faire don de leur collection \u2014 ainsi que de leur maison et de leurs terres \u2014 \u00e0 la province de l\u2019Ontario. Huit mois plus tard, le 8 juillet 1966, la \u00ab McMichael Conservation Collection of Art \u00bb ouvre officiellement ses portes.<\/p>\n<p>A.Y. Jackson a habit\u00e9 chez les McMichael durant les derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es de sa vie et \u2014 comme en t\u00e9moigne la photo en haut \u00e0 gauche \u2014 y tenait souvent salon devant un public attentif. Sur la photo du bas, une \u00e9quipe s\u2019affaire \u00e0 d\u00e9placer le banc taill\u00e9 dans un seul tronc d&rsquo;arbre, don du B.C.
