Agnes Etherington Art Centre is a research‐intensive art museum located on the historic campus of Queen’s University. It illuminates the great artistic traditions of the past and the innovations of the present through year-round programs of exhibitions and outreach activities staged across eight beautiful galleries, the Biéler Studio, and assorted public spaces including the gracious period rooms of the historic Etherington House. Its superb collections—numbering over 17,000 works―include cutting edge contemporary art and fine examples of Canadian historical art, Indigenous art and artifacts, and material culture including an unusual collection of Canadian Historical Dress and the Lang Collection of African Art. The Bader Collection, focusing on Rembrandt and his school, centres on more than 200 paintings from the Dutch Golden Age, including one portrait and two beautiful character studies by Rembrandt.

Manageable wee museum in student area of town. Some interesting displays of costumes, contemporary art and Dutch art. Agnes Etheringtons home is an additional plus point. Worth a look and free entry.

1000 Islands History Museum

The 1000 Islands History Museum provides visitors with an inviting setting to reflect on the history of the area. The building itself is build in a style reminiscent to the original cottages and grand hotels that dotted the islands of the St. Lawrence, built during the Golden Era. In the spacious exhibit halls, visitors will find dioramas, videos and interactive displays designed to educate and entertain.

An American friend and I visited this gem of a museum with its striking architecture and picturesque setting. We especially enjoyed the guided tour we received. Coordinator Art Thivierge (he should be acclaimed citizen of the year for his warm hospitality) expertly guided us through 10,000 years of Thousand Islands history. The displays start at the Ice Age, include the importance of the Frontenac Arch (a UNESCO biosphere reserve), provide evidence of First Peoples’ presence and describe the area’s first explorers, missionaries and fur traders. History buffs will relish displays about the Seven Years War, War of 1812 and lifestyle of Gananoque and the Thousand -actually 1864) Islands. Visitors will also learn the meanings of 15 First Nations words for Gananoque: my favourite is “place of health” as the milder climate here invited indigenous peoples to retreat from the cold northern forest to improve their health and living conditions. Your health too will feel restored if you relax while watching the informative video on Boldt Castle and then sit on the beautiful veranda overlooking the St. Lawrence River. First, however, don’t forget to visit the gift shop, one of the best for value and selection I’ve ever visited in the Kingston area.

Thousand Islands Playhouse

The most scenic theatre in Canada, the Thousand Islands Playhouse has two theatres on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, halfway between Toronto and Montreal, Canada. Featuring the longest decks in the region, The Springer Theatre is an intimate air conditioned vintage "canoe club" - and seats 360 with proscenium style seating. The Firehall Theatre is a heritage building with flexible seating open to innovative staging.

We attended a performance of Anne of Green Gables last night. It was a fabulous experience ... amazingly talented cast, wonderful singing, beautifully choreographed dancing, and ingenious sets. The view from the deck at the waterside of the theatre is spectacular. What a terrific evening!
