Museum of Vancouver, History museum in Vanier Park, Vancouver, Canada
The Museum of Vancouver contains permanent collections of artifacts, photographs, and documents that illustrate the development of the Pacific coast metropolis.
The institution opened its doors in 1894 as the Vancouver City Museum, relocating to its current modernist building in Vanier Park during 1967.
The museum presents exhibitions about Vancouver's Indigenous peoples, with particular focus on the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations.
The museum maintains different schedules, with extended hours on Thursdays and Fridays until 8 PM, and Saturdays until 9 PM.
The museum building features a characteristic dome structure resembling the planetary movements, designed by architect Gerald Hamilton in the 1960s.
