Museum of Vancouver, Vancouver

Thank-you Museum of Vancouver for offering free admission on Family Day! I have always loved history and Vancouver history in particular and I always enjoy a trip to the museum. It would be a dream job to set up and maintain all of the exhibits. Excellent current exhibits on "The Wild Things" and the Haida people. I am glad we went and we look forward to our next Museum of Vancouver outing.

Not quite what I expected. A larger part or exhibit when I visited, was something like "Vancouver 2050", which envisions Vancouver some time in the future, but overall reminded me of an art gallery on a bad acid trip, with random words being sporatically announced in the background, and sometimes semi-complete displays. Another part or display in the museum at the time was a 1950s themed area. It was pretty interesting. Overall, this was quite unlike the handful of other museums I have been to.

A lot of interesting stuff to see. Reasonable price. Place looks good. Great place to visit.

Some of the exhibits were kind of... uhh... interesting (cheap?) It seems like a very underfunded museum, but I love that they are trying to retain some of the local heritage. The aboriginal history part of the museum was fascinating. The natural history area needs a bit of work. Kind of disjointed, and felt like I was in a warehouse full of dead animals.

Nice place to spend afternoon, very small tho, but very retro to get sense of 50 to 70’s vibe
