McMichael Canadian Art Collection

Local nameMcMichael Canadian Art Collection
LocationVaughan, Canada

The McMichael Canadian Art Collection is an art museum in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. The museum is located on a 40-hectare property in Kleinburg, an unincorporated village in Vaughan. The property includes the museum's 7,900-square-metre main building, a sculpture garden, walking trails, and a cemetery for six members of the Group of Seven.

The collection dates back to 1955, when Robert and Signe McMichael began to collect works from artists associated to the Group of Seven, exhibiting their works at their home in Kleinburg. In 1965, the McMichaels formally reached an agreement to donate their collection and their Kleinburg property to the Government of Ontario in order to establish an art museum. The institution was opened to the public as the McMichael Conservation Collection of Art in 1966.
