Vancouver Museum

Fodor's Review:

Vancouver's short but funky history comes to life at this seaside museum. The war-years gallery remembers some poignant episodes involving the Japanese internment, as well as local stories of the war effort. The 1950s Gallery boasts a 1955 Ford Fairlane Victoria and a Seeburg select-o-matic jukebox. The 1960s-theme Revolution Gallery revisits the city's days as the hippie capital of Canada: visitors can hear local bands from the '60s and poke around a re-created communal house. At the on-site Joyce Whalley Learning Centre, kids and adults can handle artifacts relating to immigration, First Nations, and the history of childhood. Watch for intriguing temporary exhibits.
