The Group of Seven Outdoor Gallery
The Group of Seven Outdoor Gallery began in 1999 with a single mural in downtown Huntsville. Now boasting over 75 murals, the Outdoor Gallery has grown beyond its original boundary of downtown Huntsville to cross the Muskoka and Almaguin landscapes, while the heart of the Outdoor Gallery remains strong in its downtown Huntsville birthplace.
The Group of Seven Outdoor Gallery can be enjoyed 365 days a year. The Group of Seven, along with Tom Thomson, can be strongly credited in bringing attention to Canadian wilderness and landscapes, so their works are well suited to the cottage country landscape of Huntsville and Algonquin Park. Huntsville's Group of Seven Outdoor Gallery celebrates their unique style and their historic impact on our culture. Year-round, our larger-than-life collection brings to life the art of Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven through our mural sized replicas.
