Discover the MOV (Museum of Vancouver), once a cabinet of curiosities that has established itself as a social and artistic spokesperson.
 

The MOV is a museum whose collections are mainly donated, and this since its creation in the 19th century. While the Museum's original goal was to draw the world's attention to Vancouver by exhibiting objects from all walks of life, the current dynamic is aimed at promoting the city internationally. Therefore, the MOV hosts foreign collections from Asia and the East, as well as exhibitions and events centered on the country and the city. The MOV thus has a significant political dimension. Its goal is to encourage reflection on issues such as immigration, climate change, and urban planning. Guests can participate in workshops, attend conferences, or celebrate local and national events.
