Great place to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. The grounds are huge - went to the museum first. Well organized - all the exhibits are in a linear circuit with the Group of Seven landscape paintings near the beginning - grouped by painting location. Lots of native art - especially on the second floor. Make time to walk around the grounds whether it's a short hike to the cemetery and sculpture garden or a more extensive jaunt around the Humber River behind the museum. Parking is current seven dollars. Every third Sunday is free. This museum will Be shutting down for 2-3 years for renovation later this year...

WORKshop is a very cool place!…read more First of all, note that all of the art on display here are somehow related to being Chinese. Mostly, it relates to being Chinese by displaying art created by Chinese people in Canada. So I guess it's not a surprise that this gallery features artwork that incorporates technology. WORKshop is located on the concourse level of 80 Bloor Street West, where that Extremefitness is. For those of you who don't speak English, Concourse is always the level below the level which can be accessed from the street. The level accessed through the street is always the first floor. Get it, got it, good. Half of the floor space is for exhibits, the other half is a workspace. I guess you can come in where they have programs and machinery for artists to work. There is a variety of art throughout the gallery, from silk stitchings, to electronic fabrics, to ceramic sculptures. The reception/guide/curator/administrator is happy to walk visitors through the displays, giving details to the art. It's a lot of fun for a relatively small space. I was given permission to film a little bit of the space and the art, this particular gallery can be viewed in the latter half of this video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSvZ5qioUQE&feature=plcp During my visit, there were magnifying glasses in front of each of the silk stitched art. It was beautiful, and very expensive. It's a good place to just kill some time, and get to experience the art created by the Sino Canadians in the local or non-local area. Some of the stuff are really interesting. Like all galleries, they have events. I've not been invited to any of them, but I'm sure they're great...... I do prefer it if they would change their name from WORKshop to workSHOP.

I'd visited PAMA (how it's commonly known and on the signage) about 3 years ago​ for an event but haven't returned since - nor had I brought my kids until today. Pretty sad considering how great the facility is - and that I only live a few blocks from it. The Museum and Art Gallery are in separate buildings from each other​ but connected by a ​tunnel. It's truly magnificent throughout the entire facility by how they integrate the old stone structure with the new additions which are largely glass and allow a lot of natural light. The art gallery is the smaller of the two sections. The gallery has some beautiful pieces and a great exhibit at the time of writing - but it's fairly small. Downstairs they have two studios - almost multipurpose rooms. They often have daycamps for kids there. For example, during the current winter break, they've had a separate activity each day - with today's being to create a rose out of clay. My kids had a blast and the staff was​ very helpful and cheerful. The tunnel linking the sections serves as the photography exhibit. At my first visit, it was a bit more art-centered​, and my visit today it was more historically-oriented. Both times were great and there were lots of great things that caught my attention. The museum is larger than the art gallery. The first level has a kids area - suited for ages 4-8 where they have a lot of interactive play and learn about food, transport, ​and other things. Just behind are a few cells remaining from the prison era which serve to highlight the conditions of the era, and some of the harsh realities and injustices​ as well. Upstairs shows old artifacts largely highlighting the area's agrarian roots. They keep kids involved where they can pretend to plant their own garden. There was a also a very impressive First Nations exhibit which had some interactive features. It should go without saying that PAMA is not out to compete with being a world-class Museum or art gallery​. But considering it's scope as a suburban one, and that admission is only $5 for adults and even less for kids, I think it's phenomenal​. Anyone near the area should visit it at least once, and even families outside of Peel but in the GTA should really consider making a day trip here - especially​ during school breaks when the art gallery is​ providing activities for kids. PAMA truly deserves to be featured on more "Places to take your kids..." GTA lists. Overall,​ ​very fun, inspiring​ and family friendly. Tip: free family passes available at Brampton Library - with the Four Corners branch only a couple blocks away.

Definitely take your time to look at the art in this gallery. There's so much to see and take in. They have rotating shows from their featured artists, as well as exciting group shows.

We went on the outdoor tour and got to visit several historical buildings including a blacksmith, printing press, homes, and general store. Everything was interesting to get to see. Inside the main museum space, they were holding a "everyday superheroes" theme with different stations like firefighters, ambulance, hospital/vet, police, store, farm. There was also a dress up area. On the top level, there were keva bricks to build whatever you can imagine. Tons and tons of keva bricks. Price: Not too expensive to visit, can spend a few hours here easily.

Cute museum with a lot of local history!…read more While visiting Toronto I decided to take a look at the nearby museums and the Markham Museum came up in my searches! There is a lot of local history shown off and the back of the museum has a time capsule of the town. This certainly isn't a normal art installation, but it's great if you want to learn more about the town.
