Summary[edit]

Description

Downtown, Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Dominion Building, seen here in a view from Ondaatje Court, is a registered heritage property that was built in 1865 to an Italianate design by architects David Stirling and William Hay, and originally housed a number of institutions of the colonial (later national) government, such as the headquarters of the Nova Scotia Railway as well as Halifax's post office and customs house. Today it's the home of the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, which was founded in 1908 as the Nova Scotia Museum of Fine Arts, and for many years bounced around a succession of small, cramped temporary spaces before moving into this building as well as two storeys of the adjacent Provincial Building, in 1988 and 1998 respectively. Since 2006, the Gallery has also operated a satellite location in Yarmouth (you saw that earlier in this album). As ever, the Gallery's charge is to acquaint Nova Scotians with their own identity through the display of historic and contemporary art from the province, as well as to broaden their horizons with works from other parts of the country and world.

Centre-ville, Halifax, Nouvelle-Écosse. L'édifice du Dominion, vu ici depuis le cour Ondaatje, est une propriété patrimoniale enregistrée qui a été construite en 1865 selon une conception italianisante par les architectes David Stirling et William Hay, et qui abritait à l'origine quelques-unes des institutions du gouvernement colonial (plus tard national), telles que le siège du Chemin de fer de la Nouvelle-Écosse ainsi que le bureau de poste et la douane de Halifax. Aujourd'hui, c'est le foyer du Musée des beaux-arts de la Nouvelle-Écosse, qui a été fondé en 1908 et depuis de nombreuses années se déménageait entre une succession de petits espaces temporaires avant ce qu'il s'est installé dans cet édifice ainsi que dans deux étages de l'Édifice provincial à son côté, en 1988 et 1998 respectivement. Depuis 2006, le musée a opéré aussi une succursale à Yarmouth (vous avez vu celle-là plus tôt dans cet album). Comme toujours, la mission du Musée est de faire connaître les Néo-Écossais leur propre identité par le biais de l'exposition de l'art historique et contemporain que provient de la province, ainsi que d'élargir leurs horizons avec des oeuvres qui proviennent d'autres parties du pays et du monde.

Centro, Halifax, Nueva Escocia. El Edificio del Dominio, visto aquí desde el Patio Ondaatje, es una propiedad patrimonial que se construyó en 1865 según un diseño italianizante por los arquitectos David Stirling y William Hay, y que albergaba una serie de instituciones del gobierno colonial (luego nacional), como la sede del Ferrocarril de Nueva Escocia, así como la oficina de correos y la aduana de Halifax. Hoy en día es el hogar de la Galería de Arte de Nueva Escocia, que se fundó en 1908 bajo el nombre del Museo de Bellas Artes de Nueva Escocia y que hace muchos años se mudó entre una sucesión de espacios temporales pequeños y estrechos antes de instalarse en este edificio, así como dos pisos del Edificio Provincial a su lado, en 1988 y 1998 respectivamente. Desde 2006, la Galería también ha operado una sucursal en Yarmouth (vista antes en este álbum). Como siempre, el encargado de la Galería es darles a los neoescoceses a conocer su propia identidad a través de la exposición de arte antiguo y contemporáneo que proviene de la provincia, así como de ampliar sus horizontes con obras de otras partes del país y del mundo.
