Founded in 1914, the Art Gallery of Hamilton is Ontario's third largest public art gallery and owns one of the finest collections in Canada. The Gallery has three major collecting and programming strengths as seen in its 9,000+ permanent collection: 19th-century European, Historical Canadian and Contemporary Canadian.
In October 2003, the AGH began a major renovation project, transforming an aging building into an international art destination and safeguarding art works from the leaks that plagued the building. Designed by Hamilton-born and raised architect Bruce Kuwabara, the $18 million recladding and revitalization project is funded by the Canada-Ontario Infrastructure Program (through the Governments of Canada and Ontario), the City of Hamilton, Dofasco, and the generous support of corporations, foundations and individuals.
