The gallery is housed in a glass and granite building with a notable view of the Canadian Parliament buildings on Parliament Hill.
The Gallery has a large and varied collection of paintings, drawings, sculpture and photographs. Although its focus is on Canadian art, it holds works by many noted European artists. It has a strong contemporary art collection with some of Andy Warhol's most famous works. Recently, the Gallery acquired a painting by Italian Renaissance painter Francesco Salviati for $4.5 million.
The Canadian collection holds works by Tom Thompson and the Group of Seven as well as Emily Carr and Alex Colville.
