The Art Gallery of Alberta (AGA) is a modern architectural gem in Edmonton's city centre, designed by Randall Stout with a flowing zinc-and-glass facade that evokes the northern lights. Inside, the gallery features a rotating collection of over 6,000 works, with a focus on contemporary Canadian art, historical pieces from Alberta, and international exhibitions. Visitors can explore thought-provoking installations, attend artist talks, and enjoy views of the city from the second-floor windows. The building itself is a work of art, with dramatic angles and natural light.
