Thursday Doors – August 18, 2016
This week’s submission to Norm 2.0‘s Thursday Doors.
Thursday Doors is a weekly feature allowing door lovers to come together to admire and share their favourite door photos from around the world.
Another of many images made during my tour of the University of Toronto campus.
The door above belongs to the University of Toronto Art Museum. I did not know that the U of T had an art museum. Shortly after making this image, I went to the Art Gallery of Ontario for an exhibit of paintings by Lawren Harris and, sure enough, one of the paintings in the exhibit was on loan for the U of T Art Museum. Isn’t it strange how, shortly after discovering something new, you come across it in your life?
This door attracted my attention primarily because if the detailed carving above it, and it’s a wonderful dark oak door with lots of interest in the glass panels. The doors stops seem to have had better days and have not been gently used.

Magnificent!
Thank you
Like you, I didn’t know U of T had an art museum either. Another thing to add to my list!!
It’s a beautiful door. I’m guessing that each of the symbols in the window panes has a meaning.
I assume so. I’ll be looking it up.
Beautiful
Thank you
I love the etchings in the glass panels as well as the carvings in the arch above the door.
Another place to add to my list the next time I’m in Toronto.
I need to go back, as I missed a few 🙂
I love the arch and the glass panels. Beautiful door.
Thanks Jean
Oooh that’s gorgeous!
Thanks, I loved the detailed stonework.
Amazing detail. The craftsmanship is beautiful too. …That’s what I call the Red Car Phenomenon. If you own a red car, say, then you see them everywhere. Cheerios
Thanks, it’s nice to put a name on it 🙂
What an amazing door, beautiful details, even in the glass panels, great spot!
Just an observation that there are 4 glass etchings that are not matched anywhere. See if you can find them.
Yes, I noticed that and found it odd. I’m wondering if the glass was broken and randomly replaced, without any thought?
Impressive all around, Ed. The surrounding top looks like the door has a helmet, albeit a very fancy one. 🙂

Thank you Janet, I have a whole series on the way from the U of T campus. They have some astounding doors there!
I love the way that dark wood pops out from the stonework! Those are some impressive carvings as well! 🙂 -Amy
Thanks Amy
Stunning door. 🙂
Thank you
Great shot! I wouldn’t expect anything less from a museum door.
Thanks
