Off-season visitors to Toronto are in luck: the excellent Art Gallery of Ontario, which has been closed for an extensive Frank Gehry-designed renovation and expansion, has just announced its re-opening date.

The completed re-vamp will be opened to the public on November 14, with weekend-long free admission.

Highlights of the new AGO will include works by legendary Canadian painter Tom Thomson, a recently re-discovered Peter Paul Rubens, and extensive African and Australian Aboriginal collections.
