Join us for the VGH Art Collection Tours

It’s everywhere; serving the silent purpose of distracting our worried thoughts, enlivening a sometimes scary place, and slowing us down in a busy environment. 

Have you ever noticed the vibrant works of art on the walls when walking down the corridors of VGH? If you’re curious about the story behind some of these pieces, now is your opportunity to find out!
