Vancouver Art Gallery, Art gallery and civic building in downtown Vancouver, Canada
The Vancouver Art Gallery spans 15,300 square meters across multiple levels, featuring exhibition spaces, a library, and a sculpture hall within its neoclassical architecture.
The structure, designed by Francis Rattenbury, operated as a provincial courthouse until 1983 when it underwent a 20-million-dollar transformation into an art museum.
The collection includes 12,000 artworks emphasizing British Columbia creators, First Nations art, and 250 pieces by Canadian painter Emily Carr.
The gallery opens Monday through Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00, extends hours until 21:00 on Tuesdays, and provides wheelchair access throughout the building.
Construction of a new 400-million-dollar facility at Larwill Park began in September 2023 to expand exhibition and storage capabilities.
