Beaverbrook Art Gallery

The Beaverbrook Art Gallery is an open workmanship exhibition in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. It is named after William Maxwell "Max" Aitken, Lord Beaverbrook, who supported the working of the display and amassed the first accumulation. It opened in 1959 with more than 300 works, including canvases by J.M.W. Turner and Salvador Dali. The Beaverbrook Art Gallery is New Brunswick's formally assigned commonplace workmanship exhibition. The building has experienced a few developments, the most recent of which opened in 2017 by means of an outline by Halifax-based MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects. Previous executive Terry Graff expressed that this "development and renewal" planned to make the exhibition "an imperative goal for national and global contemporary workmanship".

In 1954 Lord Beaverbrook made an offer to Hugh John Flemming, the Premier of New Brunswick, to construct and stock a workmanship display in Fredericton. The Province acknowledged the proposition, and furnished him with a site specifically opposite the New Brunswick Legislative Building on the southern bank of the Saint John River. Neil Stewart, of the Fredericton compositional firm Howell and Stewart, outlined the mid-century present day working as a level roofed single-story structure, looked with pale semi-coated block. It has a stone base, with cornices and a frieze of white marble quarried at Philipsburg, Quebec. The first display space comprised of a high-ceilinged focal exhibition with a square display on either side.
