Sculptures & Public Art
Victoria’s public art landscape spans from the ornate Gate of Harmonious Interest in Canada’s oldest Chinatown to the 35-foot living Moss Lady sculpture in Beacon Hill Park. The collection features bronze tributes like the Burns Memorial and the 'Hands of Time' series—a set of twelve installations commissioned for the city's 150th anniversary depicting historical activities like tea service and gold panning. These works highlight the city's maritime heritage, Scottish influence, and cultural evolution through diverse materials and styles.
