10 Art Galleries in South End That You Shouldn't Miss

January 17, 2022 Velvet Mowry

Travelers say Halifax is best seen on foot, so park the car and start walking. Immerse yourself in Halifax's rich history at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, and be sure to survey the city from the 18th-century Citadel National Historic Site. Then walk into any of Halifax's great bars and restaurants and catch some live music to round out your day.

Art Gallery of Nova Scotia

Art museum focusing on provincial and Canadian artwork in various mediums.

Reviewed By BenLar137 - Calgary, Canada

There's so much here to like! We love how they used two of the historic buildings in downtown Halifax and joined them underground to make one larger gallery - possibly inspired by the Louvre. All the exhibits we saw on our visit in October were well thought out, and presented in a contemporary way. The highlight of our visit was the Maude Lewis exhibit, where they brought in the actual house she lived in, as well as an astounding collection of her work. What a tribute to an amazing artist! The other exhibits were interesting as well, especially a gigantic work by Ken Monkman. There's even a convenient, on-site restaurant. Having experienced how well they do what they do here, we would unreservedly recommend this for any visitor to the city with an hour to spare.

Mary E. Black Gallery

Reviewed By annt102 - Pascoe Vale, Australia

My review may be too late for you to see the work of 2 brilliant textile artists - one focusing on embroidery and the other on weaving - that we saw in July but if the quality of all their exhibitions are as good as this was, then it's worth calling in.
