Gorgeous space inside though it’s small. One of the floors was closed when we came. The price is steep for how small it is. The cafe terrace is amazing though!

Nico Pitney

"Known throughout the world for innovative and original exhibits ; a permanent collection of 9,000 plus pieces; excellent assembly of Brit Columbian artwork, most significant collection by Emily Carr ."

Katya N

It's it to try and come out to the FUSE events ! It's a good deal to see the exhibits , and they have many cool outdoor installations as well .

Joey Pillow

I love how well curated their exhibits are. In each case, they tell the importance of the art , and when possible, they show Canadian artists currently working with the same aesthetic.

Viviana Palacios

Annual membership pays for itself after 3 visits .. def worth it! You get special event invites and discounts at the store.

Adam Nowek

One of my favourite art museums in the world. Diverse collection of exhibits . Wonderful secluded café terrace on the stairs.

Scott Rose

At $24 for adult admission, the most expensive art gallery I know. But they have great shows, often focusing on local talent. No permanent collection on display.

Manu Veth

The Vancouver Art Gallery is a gem. Perfect for one of the many rainy days.

Alo T

Ongoing show for variety arts , great square outside, chill n relaxing

Stacey Armstrong

Summer is the best, everyday 4-6 live patio music upstairs at their cafe . Sunday all day. Champagne , music , sunshine, bask it it.

Scott Rose

At $24 his may be the most expensive art museum on the planet, but the shows are often great and Tuesday evenings are "pay what you wish."

Eric Tigre

Centrally located in downtown Vancouver near Robson Square the Vancouver Art Gallery is the city 's cultural gathering space. Great exhibitions include both domestic and global contemporary works. Read more

Scott Rose

Perhaps the most expensive art gallery I've attended, but the shows tend to be excellent and membership mitigates the entry fee.

Paige Hunter

Don't forget to ask for the student discount if you have your student ID on you.

Shazzi B.

Interesting displays most of the time, and they've started attracting food trucks outside for the lunch crowd

Go on Tuesdays for entry by donation . There's a bit of a line and once you're inside it's busy but not super crowded .

Jayati Sharma

Don’t miss the Gallery Shop outside the museum as well as the Bistro . Must go!

GlobeRetail

The steps, the restaurant , or even as you peruse the art , the Vancouver Art Gallery is a great place to unwind and catch up on the news

Steve

love the new #mashup exhibit . world class .

Vancouver Convention Centre

Take in an exhibit at the Vancouver Art Gallery, followed by drinks at the charming Gallery Café . The Café’s desserts are divine and the atmosphere is seemingly European.

Tracy Jennings

Cheap tuesday evenings , a lot of local modern art when I visited if that's your interest

Stephen Schofield

Don't miss the Cezanne and the impressionists. Ai WeiWei installation is outstanding too.

johnny kreveta

Oasisantonio

Too expensive , and not too big museum . You can pay-as-you-want mondays 5 to 9 pm but expect at least 2 hours on the queue, the regular admission cost more than CAD24

@JaumePrimero

Tip: take your sweet time and explore every corner of the gallery !

John Rhodes

The best place downtown for a sunny, healthy, well-priced lunch ! But make sure to go early or late as it fills to capacity at noon!

Scott X

Fuse nights are really fun. Although buy the tickets in advance if you because the line gets really long.

My Canada Payday

I think it's the right size for Vancouver. I can't see spending $300-500 million on a replacement.

Kira Solsberg

They close 10 minutes before 9pm on Tuesdays! So arrive early to see all 4 floors ;-)
