Museum of Vancouver

The Museum of Vancouver is a great place to dive into the city’s history and culture. The exhibits are well-curated, with a strong focus on Vancouver’s Indigenous heritage, social history, and urban development. The museum offers a mix of permanent and rotating exhibits, so there’s usually something new to see, and they often feature unique local stories that you won’t find elsewhere. The layout is easy to follow, and the exhibits are informative, though some parts could use a refresh to stay engaging. It’s not a huge museum, so you can explore everything in about 1-2 hours. The museum is located in Vanier Park, which is beautiful and a nice area to explore before or after your visit. Parking is paid but convenient, and the museum also offers discounted rates for students and seniors. Overall, it’s a solid spot for locals and tourists to learn more about Vancouver’s past and present.

A lot of information and tidbit stuff to explore, but overall really little stimulation. It took me about an hour to browse through everything. They need to add more sections that go beyond the 70s era. And, this museum should not be charging much for admission considering how limited their exhibit is.

Loved the entire museum. Spent 3 hours carefully browsing and reading the display descriptions. I came out of it learning more about the historical ties of Indigenous people and their lands, the past discrimination they and other nation immigrants faced, Vancouver during the great depression, and the 50s. There were also fun and surprising learnings, like the poster mafia, and the Taiwanese activism about misused public funds (not Vancouver specific but it does equally raise questions and concerns about the situation here) My least favorite part is the hippy section near the end, but maybe by then I was just out of energy Appreciate how everything was presented. Great cooling, lightning, and displays. ... the toilets could use some better cleaning tho...

The entrance is Chic. The MOV takes us back in time, and it's very impressive how they have the transition of life over the course of time. There's a house setting of how a living room used to look like in the 50s, 60s, to 2000. You could imagine and see yourself literally there with all the preserved stuff. Felt so real. It's like you're living in the 20s. Even the radio frequency was old inside here. Aaaah. I can't express how much it brought that old soul in me. Totally loved 😍 it.
