Your house is the first place i want to visit in Victoria. I am from the UK & my daughter-in-law introduced me to Emily Carr's art. Are there any refreshments available @ the house? Thankyou, Tina Kajumba.
A:
We offer complimentary tea and cookies. We look forward to your visit.
How long should we allow to visit the Emily Carr House?
A:
It depends on your level of interest. If you're interested in life ca 1900, 30 minutes will do it. If you are an art historian, and are interested in Emily Carr, at least an hour.
Barbara, Thank you visiting us at Emily Carr House. We are pleased that you enjoyed your visit. The 'musty' smell that you encountered was actually the strong fragrance of the Casablanca lilies in the Ikebana(Japanese style flower arrangement)that we had on display to compliment the art show of Scottish artist ,Euan Gray, "Monuments of Cedar". We look forward to meeting you again as every season we have different displays of art and special events. Was there anything else you were hoping to find out about Emily Carr or her home that you missed seeing on your visit?
