 | | With larger-than-life lions, lizards, a boar hunt and more, the highly anticipated exhibition Early Rubens could be your Game of Thrones fix. Get ready: it opens at the AGO this weekend! | |  | | How can we use art to have difficult conversations about this sometimes crazy world we live in? Stephan Jost, the AGO's Michael and Sonja Koerner Director, and CEO, made a compelling argument in a recent op-ed letter to The Art Newspaper. | |  | | Our latest AGO Live performance, Songs of Heaven, takes over Walker Court this weekend with the sounds of harpsichords and a choir. | |  | | An important annual event returns to the AGO this week, auctioning art by Canada's foremost contemporary artists to benefit Casey House. | |  | | Every week we're sharing one of our favourite artworks from the AGO Collection for you to see on your next visit. | | | PHOTO CREDITS: [1] Peter Paul Rubens, Daniel in the Lions' Den, c. 1614/1616.
