Vancouver Art Gallery

For a $36.75 ca after tax it's most expensive considering that it only displays 3 galleries, and one of them closed for maintenance. Outside building is truly art and the main double stairs leading up, too. The Emily carr show room is kind of confuse to follow the path to appreciate the evolution of her paintings, because there are corners that go nowhere, also I found 3 light fixtures above art not working. Second show room was more of an art and crafts installations with videos. I was expecting more of true indigenous art given the massive advertisement outside building :/. I hope this gets better with the ticket to return for 3rd gallery room when open.

It was very busy because free Friday, but we had an amazing time the exhibits were interesting with quite a few video installations and an art film. It took 3 hours to go through comfortable and the best exhibits in my opinion was Cease Wyss 's sanctuary on the 4th floor and the Plastic whale in a plastic ocean.

I really enjoyed my visit to this art gallery. I went on the first Friday of the month since it was free! We had to wait about an hour in line, so I recommend arriving around 3:15 p.m. because the line gets quite long quite fast. It’s a great indoor activity for a cloudy day, very student-friendly and budget-friendly.

I learned a lot about Canadian art and Indigenous culture by visiting this museum. I only wished that the museum had been bigger or had larger collections. One of the floors was being prepared for an exhibition, so we just missed out on seeing that. Maybe discounted tickets could be made available when the full museum is not accessible - just a thought - but I really liked what was there and liked how inclusive and accessible they had designed the museum, for anyone to come and visit. There were young children, as well as older adults, and there was also a wheelchair user visiting while I was there, who seemed to be able to navigate their way through the museum quite well (at least the ground floor anyway). Great gift shop too with such lovely staff members!

A great place to pause and reflect! We really loved the interactive exhibition that they had for Nan Goldin, who is a brilliant artist. A beautiful selection of indigenous art throughout the gallery, as well.
