The lineup on Saturday just after 11am looked grim, extending down McCaul to the OCAD entrance, but it actually moved quite quickly. I would guess we were inside within half an hour. However, it was really too crowded to do any "art appreciation" but a good opportunity to wander around and get a feeling for the building itself, which was as impressive as advertised. Galleria Italia was my favourite.
I was surprised that I saw very few security staff inside, even as people were touching the artworks and in one case, almost tripping over a lower barrier into a sculpture. The security outside were in good moods and pretty cheerful despite the crowds. Maybe they'd just come on shift.
I saw a few people taking photos with abandon, which irritated me a little because I'd followed the rules and left my camera at home. Still, I can see from the gallery's perspective that having everyone clicking cameras could be dangerous, what with everyone obstructing each other's photos, walking around looking through camera lenses instead of where they were going, backing up into artworks while posing to get in the frame, etc.
