Set in the heart of Vanier Park, the Museum of Vancouver explores the city's history, culture and communities through lively, thought-provoking exhibitions. Here are three experiences to discover right now.
Becoming: The Art of Gu Xiong
Fifty years of work gathered in a single career-spanning show. Becoming brings together key pieces by Gu Xiong, an internationally recognized artist who moves freely between painting, sculpture, photography, film and large installations built for the gallery itself. Throughout, his art keeps returning to the same questions — how people and cultures move, mix and remake themselves in a globalized world. On view until February 7, 2027.

The Suitcase Project
If you were forced to leave your home for good, what would you put in your suitcase? Photographer Kayla Isomura asked exactly that of more than 80 fourth- and fifth-generation Japanese Canadians and Americans, aged from babies to people in their early fifties. Their portraits sit beside the belongings they chose to keep, alongside filmed interviews and context on the history of Japanese internment and incarceration. On view until November 8, 2026.
