Museum of Vancouver (MOV) – A Hidden Gem for History Buffs! 🏛️✨
While strolling from Kitsilano Beach, we spotted MOV’s giant steel crab sculpture and decided to check it out—and wow, we’re so glad we did! Despite its modest 4.3 Google rating, this museum is a must-visit for anyone curious about Vancouver’s past. 🕰️ Why MOV Rocks: Timeline journey from Indigenous history to modern Vancouver, with 3D-printed artifacts, immersive displays, and dark colonial truths. Highlights: Indigenous tools, languages, and resistance stories. Chinese & Japanese immigrant experiences. 1950s-60s nostalgia (think Fallout 4 vibes—perfect for photos!). 📸 Hippie culture and beyond! Interactive fun: Jukebox plays real ‘60s Vancouver hits (no skip button though!). 🎶 Peek holes in the Indigenous exhibit reveal hidden garden views. 🌿 💰 Tickets & Tips: Adults 17∣Students12 (totally worth it!). Don’t miss: The gift shop + basement exhibits! Quiet vibe = no crowds, so take your time! #VancouverMuseums #HistoryLovers #IndigenousCulture #CityWalk #ThrowbackVibes #ExploreBC #HiddenGems
