Victoria’s Craigdarroch Castle has long been dedicated to telling the stories of the Dunsmuir family and other Castle residents over the years. Now it’s created a singular show about a particular character and sent it on the road to the Courtenay and District Museum.

Finding a Voice: Gender, Sexuality and Music Through the Work of Elinor Dunsmuir offers new insight into the family and the times through the story and music of the coal baron’s talented granddaughter.

Using photographs alongside text and information panels, interspersed with three listening stations and two interactive workstations, where visitors can listen to and work within Elinor’s compositions, a picture emerges of Elinor’s attempts to break free from her easeful but rather proscribed life.
