You should include the AGO in your top 10 in Toronto architecture. It reopened November, 2008, after a retooling and expansion by Frank Gehry, whose grandmother took him there as a child.

The spaces are wondrous. I won't concentrate on the art now, since this is again a museum where the art is front and centre, but Gehry's inspired additions include a galleria space giving an overview of the Edwardian houses along Dundas Street West, a friendly entrance and another box, for contemporary art, to echo Will Alsop's OCAD, which lives next door. Visitors will enjoy the view from the south end of Grange Park.

For the late night partiers, this place is also open late into the morning Fri-Sun.
