There are two main gallery spaces:

Since the founding of the collection in 1953 a number of named collections have provided the thematic direction of the acquisition program. The two founding collection were the the University of Victoria Collection and the John and Katharine Maltwood Collection. A third collection, the Michael C. Williams Collection, was recently received by way of bequest. It underpins the exhibitions at our downtown Victoria Legacy Gallery.
