good on the art gallery! who knew they'd be first.
Those wanting to catch a glimpse of rare pieces from artists Lawren Harris, Maud Lewis and Shushan Egoyan will have the opportunity next week when the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria reopens following a two-month closure.
The art gallery — which shut its doors on March 17 amid coronavirus fears — will become the city’s first high-profile cultural organization to reopen when it begins allowing visitors again on Tuesday. The province’s plan to reopen the B.C. economy allows some businesses to resume operating in a restricted capacity this month.

The gallery on Moss Street will be open Tuesday through Sunday each week, and will offer free admission to all visitors until July 5.
