Museum of Vancouver

The Museum of Vancouver (MOV) is a civic history museum located in Vanier Park, Vancouver, British Columbia. MOV is the largest urban museum in Canada and the oldest museum in Vancouver. The museum was founded in 1894 and went through a number of iterations before being rebranded as the Museum of Vancouver in 2009. It creates Vancouver-focused exhibitions and programs that encourage conversations about what Vancouver was, is, and can be. It shares an entrance and foyer with the H. R. MacMillan Space Centre but MOV is much larger and occupies the majority of the space in the building complex where both organizations sit, as well as separate collections storage facilities in another building.
