Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Art museum at Queen's University in Kingston, Canada

The Agnes Etherington Art Centre occupies Etherington House, a Neo-Georgian mansion bequeathed to Queen's University, extended in 1962, 1975, 1978 and 2000 to reach 1,720 square metres. It holds nine galleries plus a studio, atrium, publications lounge and the David McTavish Art Study Room, and its collection of over 17,000 works spans the 14th century to the present.

The center opened in 1957 in a Neo-Georgian mansion donated by Agnes Etherington to Queen's University. This act transformed the residence into a public art institution serving the community.

The center presents artworks that connect European artistic traditions with contemporary Canadian works, offering visitors a window into different cultures and artistic voices. The African art collection broadens this global perspective and invites exploration of varied creative expressions.

The museum offers various areas to explore including a publications lounge and art study room with regular guided tours and lectures. Visitors should allow enough time to browse the galleries at leisure, especially if they want to examine individual works more closely.

The Bader Collection contains over 200 European paintings from various centuries, one of the largest assemblies of historical European art in the region. This impressive gathering attracts art lovers who want to explore works by artists from earlier periods more closely.
