The Museum of Vancouver brought me back in time. I grew up in Vancouver in the seventies and eighties and many of the displays and pieces reminded me of those times. The one that I enjoyed the most was the neon sign pavilion. I remember driving or walking by those signs as a boy. Many of those signs now either destroyed or sitting in a museum show how much Vancouver has changed. Many of the historical places and landmarks are now gone replaced with dense condo/apartment developments. This is not the city I knew and loved. I miss the old Vancouver.

What a great place to spend a rainy afternoon. As a new resident of Vancouver it was really interesting to learn about the history of this beautiful city

Their permanent exhibitions are well-designed, and are very informative and entertaining at the same time. If you ever wondered about the riots in Vancouver, the history of the neon lights or wanted to know more about the first nation settlements that existed before Vancouver, this museum is the right place to get educated.

The only obnoxious thing I experienced was a young student group about 20-25 people who were yelling at each other, played tag and were generally very loud. It would be great if they had been told before entering the museum to keep quiet.

There’s several hours worth of exhibits here at least. I personally love the special neon sign collection and the decades of Vancouver exhibit (Vancouver in the 50’s, 60’s etc). Admission wasn’t cheap at $16 for a student, but it’s not expensive either, for the quality of the exhibits. There was plenty to keep you occupied for an afternoon. And great exhibits on Indigenous cities, cultures, and traditions.

This Museum is Awesome!!!! I walk by this place almost every single day, when I'm in Vancouver, which is almost never, and I can't tell you enough that I should've brought all of my friends and family and their kids and families here sooner!

Interesting place to visit to learn about the history of the area. The exhibition is too much focused on blaming the Europeans for what they did to first nations though.

Love seeing the history of our amazing city. Check out the great photos in the 70s exhibit while it's still on.

Overall, this place is a very interesting museum that explores Vancouver's cultural diversity, issues, and history. It flows very well from one exhibit to the next, and shed light on many aspects of the city from its First Nation heritage to the cultural influences as well. It's reasonably priced. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

If you enjoy museums, I think you'll find something of interest here. The history side was informative about Vancouver and the exhibit side had an interesting set of collections. The big crab outside was kind of cool too.

Ok collection (pretty small). Used to have school events here and that was fun.

A wonderful look at local history. It is well worth the time and money. It doesn't take long to get through the entire museum. I highly recommend a visit.

I was attending an evening photojournalism event, but I did have an opportunity to poke around the Seventies in Vancouver Exhibit briefly and found it absolutely delightful. This particular exhibition included a wonderful collection of pinball machines, early electronic arcade (predecessor to the video) games that dominate our family rooms today , a wide variety of board games and collectibles and a lovely neon sign display.

It's worth a visit for both citizens and tourists.
It's not a world class museum, but it's much bigger than I expected. It's cozy, compact and flows nicely from gallery to gallery. Permanent halls feature life in Vancouver through the years. The neon section from 70's is cool.

The feature exhibition spotlighted collections of toys, fake eyes, corsets, seeds and other weird items, very cool to see! Another one was for neon signs called "ugly Vancouver". Interesting to learn that citizens wanted all those signs gone and thought they made the city look like a circus. And now whatever is left of them in the city, has become historic and cool to look at!
