Museums Details

 

In the spring of 1894, a group of visionaries formed the Art, historical and scientific Association. Using borrowed artifacts and space they opened Vancouver’s first museum Exhibition. A banner invited visitors to view “Paintings and Curios”.

The City Museum, and its collection, moved in 1905 to the Carnegie Library at Main and Hastings.

In 1968, the Museum moved into its current landmark building on the south shore of False Creek in what is now known as Vanier Park. That same year it was renamed the Centennial Museum.

In 1905, the museum opened in the Carnegie Library, and began an uphill climb, that was to survive two World Wars, and the great depression. These calamities took their toll on the citizens of Vancouver, but when times were toughest, they rallied behind their museum.
