Oaag Tour: McMichael Gallery

This was so long ago.

We went to the McMichael Gallery as a part of the OAAG Tour. MMG is probably one of the closest to my house (close in the suburby way) but I’ve never been inside it. During the beginning of our relationship, Tudor and I had a date on its grounds but we never went inside since it closes so damn early on the weekends.

The MMG is an all Canadiana log cabin nestled in the chicly quaint-but-well-stocked village of Kleinburg. It houses the usual (aren’t I spoiled?) Milnes, Varleys and Group of Sevens that most Canadian galleries boast of, based on my sample size of OAAG.

We happened to go on yet another family day.  There were children debris everywhere.

You could barely see the banners.

Afterwards, Tu and I went for a walk.

Gorgeous day.
