The Museum of Vancouver (MOV) connects
Vancouverites to each other and connects the city to
the world. An enthusiastic civic advocate, MOV is
dedicated to encouraging a deeper understanding of
Vancouver through stories, objects and shared
experiences. A visit to the museum is an easy way to
learn about Vancouver’s past. The Museum of Vancouver
exhibits vividly depict the city’s story from the time of
explorations to the beginning of World War I. MOV is
located in scenic Vanier Park with the H.R. MacMillan
Space Centre and the Vancouver Maritime Museum.
Only a 5 mins drive from downtown and a 20 mins stroll
along the ocean boardwalk to either; Granville Island or
Kitsilano Beach. MOV is easily accessible by False Creek
Ferries, Mobi Bike Share Program and City Transit.
The Bill Reid Gallery was named after the acclaimed
Haida artist Bill Reid (1920 – 1998) who was a master
goldsmith, carver, sculptor, writer, broadcaster and
spokesman. Nestled in the heart of downtown
Vancouver, the Gallery is home to the Simon Fraser
University Bill Reid Collection and special exhibitions of
contemporary Indigenous Art of the Northwest Coast of
North America. The Bill Reid Gallery is Canada’s only
public gallery dedicated to contemporary Indigenous
Art of the Northwest Coast. The Gallery honours Bill
Reid by exhibiting the Bill Reid SFU Art Collection, and
presenting special exhibitions and programs that build
bridges between all peoples, including Indigenous and
settler populations. Our mandate is to promote a greater
awareness of Indigenous cultures and values.
