ACCESSIBILITY
GUIDELINES

The McMichael Canadian Art Collection is in the charming Village of Kleinburg, approximately a 30 minute drive from the city of Toronto. Use the Google Map tool above to get directions to the gallery – by public transit, car, or bike! – from wherever you are.

The McMichael is located on the original lands of the Ojibwe Anishinaabe People. It is uniquely situated along the Carrying Place Trail which historically provided an integral connection for Aboriginal people between Ontario’s Lakeshore and the Lake Simcoe-Georgian Bay Region. As an institution, McMichael recognizes the importance of acknowledging the original territories of the Ojibwe Anishinaabe First Nations people.

The McMichael’s permanent collection consists of over 6,500 artworks by Tom Thomson, the Group of Seven, their contemporaries, and First Nations, Métis, Inuit and contemporary artists who have contributed to the development of Canadian art.
