Emily Carr House, Historical museum in Victoria, Canada.

The Emily Carr House stands as an Italianate villa with ornate architectural details, white painted wood siding, and period furnishings from the 1800s.

Built in 1863 for the prominent Carr family, this residence witnessed the early years of Canadian artist Emily Carr until her father's death in 1888.

The museum displays personal artifacts, letters, and reproductions of paintings that showcase Emily Carr's connection to British Columbia's forests and Indigenous communities.

Visitors can join guided tours through the heritage rooms during summer months and participate in educational programs about Canadian art and culture.

The restored Victorian garden contains native plants that influenced Emily Carr's nature paintings and her written descriptions in 'The Book of Small'.
