Photography exhibit - Victoria in the 50s and 60s
UVic's Legacy Art Gallery and Cafe has an interesting exhibit opening today and running through the summer.
"A retro Victoria comes alive through the work of architectural photographer Hubert Norbury, on display at the Legacy Art Gallery and Café this summer.
Norbury succeeded in documenting a building boom that transformed Victoria from a sleepy retreat to a vibrant city, rejuvenated by progressive town planning, a new university campus, and an international airport. His photographs serve as a rich and detailed record of a unique era in Victoria’s architectural history when modern ideas and new building technologies were embraced by its architects and increasingly accepted by the general public."
The Legacy Art Gallery is at the corner of Yates and Broad. It's open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and admission is free.
