Additional Information

What’s the origin of ‘Beaverbrook’? Lord Beaverbrook, who held the position of Minister of Aircraft Production in the wartime government of Sir Winston Churchill, contributed significantly to our namesake. In 1959, Lord Beaverbrook, also known as Sir Max Aitken, gifted an abundant art collection and the Beaverbrook Art Gallery to the inhabitants of New Brunswick. This trove of masterpieces and the specially constructed gallery that houses them are among the many enduring legacies Lord Beaverbrook bestowed upon his native province.

The Beaverbrook Art Gallery was formally declared as New Brunswick’s provincial art gallery in 1994. Since then, the Gallery has continually enriched the community through the power of art.

Worth a Visit, Showcases Local Artists - The Beaverbrook Gallery is a very nice art museum. The building itself is aesthetically pleasing. There is a very impressive Dali which is the highlight of the collection. Real kudos for presenting local artists. The coffee shop is very fine and overall it's a really pleasant experience.

A pleasant surprise - This is an excellent gallery with a well curated selection of old and new, and sculptures and paintings. The venue is beautiful. It was an unplanned, pleasant surprise.

Go and see the art even if you aren't an artist - The lady at the admissions desk is more interested in her cell phone than helping us. She did have cool pointy orange fingernails... expression of art can be found anywhere I guess. There were security guards wandering around in every room at all times (we saw 4 of them). The short brown guy was super helpful and very polite. The taller gym rat looking guy, rudely told us to move away from the entry wall when we were trying to leave. We were standing there because there were 3 groups of about 25 kids coming up the only entry ramp they have in the whole place!! The art displays were varied and very interesting. The bathrooms were clean and there is a lot of street parking everywhere out front of the building. If you are looking for something to do you might want to check out the Indigenous displays.
