Lining the walls of the Legislative Building are artworks from the Government of Ontario Art Collection. Initiated during the 1850s by Egerton Ryerson, the Chief Superintendent of Education for Upper Canada, the collection features copies of old European masters paintings acquired by Ryerson during his "Grand Tour of Europe", as well as pieces by some of Ontario's most celebrated artists, including George Agnew Reid.
