Vancouver boasts some of the best museums in the country, and the collection at the
Vancouver Art Gallery is its crowning glory. With over 10,000 pieces in permanent collection, the Gallery is world-renown for its important collection of works by the artist Emily Carr. More native arts and handiworks are on permanent display at the
Museum of Anthropology at UBC, which specializes in the study and preservation of the First Nations peoples of the Pacific Northwest.
Those more fascinated by nature’s art can’t miss Vancouver’s gorgeous botanical gardens. Pay a visit to the first full-size Chinese Scholar’s garden built outside of China, the
Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, or medidate the day away among 55 acres of plants, sculptures and pavilions at the Van Dusen Botanical Garden.
