Storyeum, Underground museum in Gastown, Vancouver, Canada
The Storyeum spread across 104,000 square feet beneath Vancouver streets, featuring theatrical displays and professional actors performing historical reenactments throughout various staged settings.
Opening in 2004 with an investment of 22 million Canadian dollars, the museum operated until 2006 when financial difficulties led to its permanent closure.
The exhibits presented British Columbia's heritage through seven different sets, including replicas of Indigenous longhouses and a Canadian Pacific Railway locomotive at 88 percent scale.
The facility contained two massive elevators that could transport 200 visitors at once between street level and the underground exhibition spaces.
Following its closure, the Vancouver Film School acquired the space, preserving certain original elements such as the Barkerville replica and ship hull section.
