Vancouver Art Gallery
About This Museum
People flock to the Vancouver Art Gallery for its blockbuster touring shows, but what really steals your heart is the deep connection to this place. I was completely captivated by the Emily Carr rooms; seeing her wild, windswept West Coast forests in person is a spiritual experience. The Canadian and Indigenous photo collections tell such powerful, human stories that you can't help but linger. Honestly, it's the perfect mix of global buzz and local soul.
Collection Highlights
The permanent home for Emily Carr's iconic forest paintings, thought-provoking touring exhibits that change seasonally, and a stunning collection of historical and contemporary photography.
Visitor Information
It's right at 750 Hornby Street, easy to spot in the heart of downtown. Try to go on a Tuesday evening when admission is by donation—it's a fantastic local secret!
Architecture & Building
Housed in a grand, former courthouse that feels like a neoclassical palace, with a stunning modern addition by Herzog & de Meuron planned for the future.
