Located on 100 acres of forested land along the Humber River, the McMichael is a major public gallery uniquely devoted to collecting The Art of Canada*. The McMichael Art Gallery 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.

A:
Plenty of tables, but there could be some insects (especially later in the day).

Depends on what you mean by 'pay for my tour'. You pay for parking, it supports the museum. You pay to enter, it supports the museum. If you are comfortable with what you will see it is easy to do a self guided tour. Brochures are adequate and write ups are good. my niece studied here with A Y Jackson when he was 'Artist-in-Residence' i the 70s. Maybe that is why I Feel very comfortable here.
