The Museum of Vancouver (MOV) is a premier civic history museum that aims to deepen our collective understanding of the city through our common stories, objects, and experiences. As a civic organization, MOV is committed to fostering a more socially connected, resilient, and publicly engaged city. We serve as a gathering space that fosters connection, learning, and new experiences for Vancouver's diverse communities and histories.

MOV focuses on four broad areas that we consider our pillars: Redress and Decolonization, Immigration and Diversity, Environment and Sustainability, and Urban and Contemporary Issues. Through these pillars, we explore and conceptualize Vancouver's past, present, and future. We recently unveiled our 5-year strategic plan, envisioning what Vancouver could look and feel like in the next five years.

MOV continuously evolves as the city evolves, keeping pace with changing civic priorities and technological advancements. Come visit MOV at 1100 Chestnut Street in Vancouver and immerse yourself in our thought-provoking exhibitions, engaging events, and enriching learning programs. Experience firsthand the rich history and vibrant culture that shape our beloved city
