Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, Art museum in Victoria, Canada.

The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria encompasses the Spencer Mansion and Exhibition Galleries, displaying works from Canadian, Indigenous, and international artists throughout the year.

The institution began as the Little Centre in downtown Victoria in 1946 before relocating to the Spencer Mansion in 1951 through Sarah Spencer's donation.

The museum maintains 20,000 artworks, including 8,000 Asian pieces from China and Japan, making it the second-largest Asian art collection in Canada.

The gallery organizes regular family events, artist talks, and educational programs, with activities scheduled throughout the year for visitors of all ages.

The outdoor grounds feature a traditional Shinto shrine within the Asian garden, complementing the Victorian architecture of the Spencer Mansion.
