What a lovely piece of history. The tour was absolutely excellent, the plaques around the garden are thought-provoking and the restoration work is impressive. Loved learning about the Carr family, the home design of the time, and the trappings of colonial society in BC. Highly recommend booking a tour if you’re interested in period interior design, slice-of-life Canadian history and/or art!

Loved this booked tour guide by ( Director, Pascal ). She is amazing, so amazing of the wonderful tour of the entire house of Emily Carr. ( Finally, had the chance to have the tour of the upper floors of the home ) last several times 2004, 2007, 2018 was not open to the public. So it was very impressed of this tour this time with my partner together ( his first time ) it was worth the tour ( 40 minutes ) it was amazing! loved the back of the house Trailer and its garden ( apple trees ). Best Tour in Victoria,BC.

Luckily it was open when we cycled by. Very nicely restored house and interesting history. Free entrance and very quiet.

The gardens are beautiful. It is lovely to take your time to look at what hidden plants there are. The couple that take care of the visitors are very organized. There are several rooms full of furniture, drawings and items from the era that Emily Carr lived in. It is so lovely to think she us not forgotten.

Very low key as museums go. Incredibly cluttered, and tours are self-guided. A must see for Carr fans!

Worth it! Pleasant surprise! Kate the site manager gives a very personal yet informative tour. Learned lots of the little details about Emily Carr and her life, and her plucky outlook! They also fit us into the day last minute, speaking to the kindness and enthusiasm of the staff. Can’t wait to see the home fully developed into a community centre, artist-in-residence programme, and historical site.

Wonderful, to see how Emily Carr was inspired; by the beauty of Victoria. The tour guide, Tom; was very informative and friendly. It was a great visit. Definitely recommend it.

It's always interesting to see these old Victorian homes renovated. It's still in the process of being fully restored, but the upstairs is mostly completed. Seeing how they found the original wallpaper and had it redone in the front parlor was particularly interesting.

I did the Tuesday self-guided tour. It's centrally located and free admission... pretty cool to be able to check out the childhood home of BC's most prominent artist.
