Explore the mysterious art world of the exhibition hall🎨

Vancouver is definitely a must-visit for hipsters and art lovers. The Vancouver Art Gallery in the city center is like the heart of local culture! Not only does it have a strong personality of the architectural exterior, the museum’s permanent exhibitions and irregular feature exhibitions take turns, making it a place for citizens and travelers to find inspiration and healing. I recently tried it myself and found that the first Friday of every month is actually free admission (but be sure to book your tickets online in advance)! Super suitable for those who want to save money and feel the artistic atmosphere of the city - whether you are coming to Vancouver for the first time or you love exploring local life, don't miss it!

🖼️ Vancouver Art Gallery Highlights

Vancouver Art Gallery is located in the heart of the city center and is super convenient, just a five-minute walk from the SkyTrain "Burrard Station". The exterior walls are classic and retro, very eye-catching. One of the features of the collection is the large number of works by local and Indigenous Canadian artists, which are amazing at every exhibition. The museum not only has modern visual art, photography, and installation exhibitions, but also often holds theme exhibitions related to design and social issues. The recent special exhibition will be updated from time to time. It is recommended to check the official website before the trip.
