The Vancouver Art Gallery Overview

Vancouver Art Gallery: The impressive Vancouver Art Gallery occupies a magnificent neoclassical courthouse building in the heart of downtown, where its grand columns and imposing stairs have made it both an architectural landmark and cultural cornerstone since 1931. Inside the Vancouver Art Gallery, visitors discover thought-provoking contemporary works alongside historical Canadian masterpieces, with special emphasis on celebrated British Columbia artists including Emily Carr, whose powerful depictions of the province’s landscapes and indigenous cultures form a cornerstone of the Vancouver Art Gallery’s permanent collection. The Vancouver Art Gallery hosts major international traveling exhibitions throughout the year, bringing world-class art to the city while maintaining its commitment to showcasing the rich artistic heritage of the Pacific Northwest region. The popular café at the Vancouver Art Gallery overlooks an outdoor plaza that serves as a natural gathering point for locals, with a cascading fountain and expansive steps that transform into an impromptu public seating area on sunny days. Our hop-on hop-off bus makes a convenient stop near the Vancouver Art Gallery, allowing art enthusiasts to explore this cultural institution at their leisure before continuing their Vancouver adventure.
