The Good:Stunning architecture inside a grand, historic neoclassical courthouse.The world's largest collection of beautiful Emily Carr paintings.Fantastic focus on local Indigenous and modern Pacific Rim artists.Amazing rooftop patio cafe overlooking Robson Square for coffee or wine.Perfect downtown location, very easy to access.The Bad:High admission ticket price $29–$35 CAD for a relatively quick 90-minute visit.Hit-or-miss if you do not enjoy abstract contemporary or multimedia art.Sometimes entire floors are closed for setup, but they still charge full price.Tip: Check their website before going to make sure all floors are open!
It was very busy because free Friday, but we had an amazing time the exhibits were interesting with quite a few video installations and an art film. It took 3 hours to go through comfortable and the best exhibits in my opinion was Cease Wyss 's sanctuary on the 4th floor and the Plastic whale in a plastic ocean.
I really enjoyed my visit to this art gallery. I went on the first Friday of the month since it was free! We had to wait about an hour in line, so I recommend arriving around 3:15 p.m. because the line gets quite long quite fast. It’s a great indoor activity for a cloudy day, very student-friendly and budget-friendly.
I learned a lot about Canadian art and Indigenous culture by visiting this museum. I only wished that the museum had been bigger or had larger collections. One of the floors was being prepared for an exhibition, so we just missed out on seeing that. Maybe discounted tickets could be made available when the full museum is not accessible - just a thought - but I really liked what was there and liked how inclusive and accessible they had designed the museum, for anyone to come and visit. There were young children, as well as older adults, and there was also a wheelchair user visiting while I was there, who seemed to be able to navigate their way through the museum quite well at least the ground floor anyway. Great gift shop too with such lovely staff members!
A great place to pause and reflect! We really loved the interactive exhibition that they had for Nan Goldin, who is a brilliant artist. A beautiful selection of indigenous art throughout the gallery, as well.
