Geschichte von Vancouver Art Gallery

Vancouver Art Gallery's building was designed by Francis Rattenbury, who won a design competition in 1905, and it opened as the provincial courthouse in 1911. The courts used it until 1979, when they moved to a new complex.

Vancouver Art Gallery moved into the building in 1983 after Arthur Erickson converted it as part of his Robson Square redevelopment, at a cost of about CAD 20 million. Its collection held about 12,000 works as of December 2018, and it holds more than 250 works by Emily Carr, with the National Gallery of Canada together holding the largest number of Carr works of any collection in the world.

Vancouver Art Gallery has long planned a larger new building, the Chan Centre for the Visual Arts, originally targeted for 2020. In December 2024 the gallery scrapped its Herzog and de Meuron design after projected costs rose from CAD 400 million to CAD 600 million, so it continues to operate from the Hornby Street building. Verify any new building or exhibition changes at the official site.

Regeln & Etikette in Vancouver Art Gallery

Vancouver Art Gallery lets members and Indigenous peoples enter free, with Indigenous visitors self-identifying at the desk. Proof of BC residency may be requested for the CAD 29 resident rate, so carry photo ID with an address and verify the requirement at the official site.

Vancouver Art Gallery's galleries can restrict photography by exhibition, and large bags may need to be checked, so read signs at each entrance and ask staff. Do not touch works or lean on plinths, and keep a safe distance from framed pieces and installations.

Vancouver Art Gallery admits children and youth free, which makes weekday family visits practical. Photography of works on loan may be restricted by agreement, and exhibitions can close between shows, so check the current programme before you plan a visit around a specific artist.

Tipps für den Besuch von Vancouver Art Gallery

1
Vancouver Art Gallery is closed on Tuesdays, so plan around that. Friday is the late night, open to 20:00, and Free First Friday Nights on the first Friday of every month from 16:00 to 20:00 draw large crowds, so arrive by 16:00 if you want a quieter hour.
2
Vancouver Art Gallery sits beside Robson Square and Robson Street, so combine a visit with a walk along Robson Street or down to the waterfront. Allow 90-120 minutes, focus on one or two floors, and look for the Emily Carr works, which the gallery holds in depth.
3
Vancouver Art Gallery is a short walk from Vancouver City Centre Station on the Canada Line, so a TransLink adult 1-zone fare of CAD 2.85 with Compass from 1 July 2026 covers most downtown trips.
