Vancouver Art Gallery Notes

The Vancouver Art Gallery building is a nice gem of a building only a block away from the downtown Vancouver City Centre stop on the Canada Line metro station.  Similar to the Detroit Institute of Arts, the greco-roman facade outside seems to hide the entirely modern internal architecture. While there are ionic pillars outside, large plate glass rests around the main lobby. I enjoyed visiting this place today with Ally and we got to see a variety of paintings and photographs. One main exhibit in particular featured an artist whose photographs depict an enormous range of emotion and scene.
