Nice exposition of modern and controversial art. Also they had rotating exhibition of Asian crafts starting from ~1300 BCE.
Nice yard with Shinto shrine of 19th century.
The gallery occupies an old mansion which is nice.
Affordable gift store.
Free parking.

Charm in the air!
Generally I don’t take photos at Galleries as art is best in person. This Shinto shrine, however, is a rarity in Canada and feels alive.
Depending on when one goes there are plenty of experiences to be had as exhibitions from throughout the country come to this charming destination.

A nice art gallery away from the centre with some great pieces. It's pretty small and one of the rooms was being turned over but the tickets were appropriately discounted.

The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria is a wonderful art gallery. It is housed in two spaces; a more modern gallery and the first floor of the Spencer Mansion.
The galleries are thoughtfully put together and arranged. The addition of some of the artists personal experiences, beliefs, and life story’s in the exhibits is a great inclusion. Within each themed gallery is there is an array or art, ranging from more modern/contemporary art, to some art from the 1700s. The art pieces are woven together in a very thoughtful manner.
I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and look forward to returning.

Totally enjoyed our visit. The Emily Carr and the "blue and white" displays were quite interesting. The other fine collections in the gallery were also fascinating. The staffs were very nice. We had a pleasant chat with an enthusiastic curator who told us a lot about the elegant house at the gallery as part of the collection.
