And sculptures stare and exhibits flash,
Much to look at it and even to touch
On to the next one it’s never too much.
Showcasing our country at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection
Guaranteed to inspire a homeland connection,
Contemporary pieces highlighting our love
Of the country and culture CANADA is characteristic of
The Alton Mills Arts Centre, built from spirit and will
Has been magically transformed from an old stone mill,
The works of jewellers and sculptures and fashion designers too
The hardest decision is which piece to take home with you.

Commendable, exceptional, The RMG is nothing but respectable,
Perfect architecture to house the current artwork inside
