National Gallery of Canada, Canada
From series “Famous buildings of Postmodern architecture”Year: 1988.
The building of the National Gallery of Canada is also sure to appeal to those who are not indifferent to the postmodern style. This museum is considered the leading one in the country today. A huge collection of graphics, sculptures, paintings, and photographs is stored in it. The museum's collection began to form in 1880. It has been located in the current building since 1988. The museum's modest display occupied several rooms in the Supreme Court building at the end of the 19th century.
Such glazed parts have not only a decorative but also a practical purpose. The sun's rays easily penetrate through them on a clear day. They fill the gallery rooms with natural light. Visitors to the National Gallery of Canada will have the opportunity to see the unique masterpieces of Pablo Picasso and Claude Monet, Marc Chagall and Salvador Dali. The museum's collection includes several tens of thousands of exhibits. You will need more than one day to view it completely. If you visit the gallery during the warm season, you should take a walk around its adjacent territory and appreciate the grandiose building from various angles. The territory of the museum is decorated with many landscape and sculptural compositions.
