We had an appointment with a hematologist this morning and while Ron rested this afternoon I did a quick look through the National Art Gallery, the largest collection of art in Canada. It has a 30' Spider sculpture in front and is a amazing structure. It has 3 levels, a Water court, a Garden Court and the original Rideau Street Convent Chapel incorporated into the center of the building. I enjoyed pictures by Emily Carr, Group of Seven and Allan Sapp. The modern stuff in wasted on me. One was a type of dinosaur? made from white plastic garden chairs. There is art from the Gothic, Renaissance, Aboriginal, Asian - you name it - they've got it. A very interesting place.
