  • Many of the city’s best artist-run galleries are here in this gorgeous old warehouse. Exhibit openings are often held Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons.

  • Home to basketball’s Raptors and hockey’s Maple Leafs, the arena is in the old Toronto Postal Delivery Building. Carvings on the façade depict the history of communications.

  • The star of Toronto’s early skyscrapers, this massive 34-story Romanesque structure housing the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce was the tallest building in Canada when completed in 1931. Today it matches aesthetically, if not in height, its towering neighbors.

  • This gallery showcases innovative Canadian postwar design (see Design Exchange).

  • Princes’ Gates herald the entrance to the Canadian National Exhibition’s fairgrounds, hosting major events such as the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair.

  • Toronto’s premiere contemporary art public gallery.
