The Museum of Vancouver is Canada's premier civic history museum, situated in Vanier Park near the waterfront and sea wall — a natural stop on one of Vancouver's most popular cycling routes. As an independent non-profit, MOV explores Vancouver's diverse communities and histories through rotating and permanent exhibitions, with current features on redress, repatriation, and design sustainability. Cyclists exploring the Vanier Park precinct can pair a visit here with the nearby Vancouver Maritime Museum and H.R. MacMillan Space Centre.
