Canada’s $131-million (U.S. currency) new home for the National Gallery of Canada opens Saturday, ending the national collection’s century-long wanderings from one temporary home to another. With the new building in Ottawa, which took 4 1/2 years to complete, about 2,000 of the gallery’s 40,000 works will be displayed at any one time, ranging from the rugged northern landscapes to Inuit carvings and Quebec religious sculpture. The museum’s first major exhibition will be a Degas retrospective, opening June 16.
