Museum of Vancouver

It was my first time visiting the museum of Vancouver. This place has lots of exhibits about the history of Vancouver. When I visited 1-5 sections were closed for renovation. However, it still took me a couple of hours to go through sections 6-12 in detail. They have lots of audio and video exhibits too. The city before the city is one of my favorite exhibits here. They also have quizzes at the end of most sections which you can take by scanning a QR code. It was a fun exercise to do the quizzes and learn about the history of the place. The museum took me through a travel in time where I could see how Vancouver evolved over the years/decades. I would come back here again to check out the exhibits which were closed during my visit.

Incredible learning experience about the city of Vancouver, its various epochs, its people and its culture. The museum has everything you need to know about the history of the city. The exhibits are well-curated and interesting artifacts are plentiful. I love the architecture as well. It's a pretty big place, so be prepared to spend a large part of your day here if you want to explore all the exhibitions in detail. Unfortunately, parking around the museum is not free.

The Museum of Vancouver offers a great way to explore the city’s history and culture. The exhibits, including interactive stations, highlight Vancouver’s evolution from its Indigenous roots to its modern identity. We came with the family for our first visit and spent less than an hour exploring. The building is nice, and the overall experience was enjoyable. It’s a worthwhile stop, especially if combined with nearby attractions like the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre or Kitsilano Beach. Rate is based in comparison to other museums I’ve visited. Everything went well during the visit.

Small, but informative exhibits. The decades exhibits were colorful and fun, the indigenous exhibits were informative. Was not busy on a Thursday afternoon. You do have to pay for parking as a heads up, but the price is the same as anywhere downtown Vancouver.

There is no need to go to this place, outdated, nothing to see. Prior to buying our tickets, we asked for the time frame for the entire "museum," they told us from 1 to 2 hours, so we decided to go for it and probably after 1/2 hour is completed and there's nothing else. Don't waste your time and money here.

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.

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.

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.
