Seven galleries, an 1889 mansion, twenty thousand works, and a Japanese garden with a real Shinto shrine waiting out back.

The date

The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria has what most galleries lack: an exit strategy. You wander nearly 20,000 works across seven galleries and the 1889 Spencer Mansion, including a serious haul of Emily Carr, then step out back into a Japanese garden holding a genuine Shinto shrine. Not a replica, the real thing, sitting quietly in Rockland. Find the one painting you would each steal, and explain why.
