Things to do in Vancouver, Canada: The Best Museums

January 20, 2022 Enedina Augsburger

Vancouver was founded as “Gastown” by an Englishman with a penchant for beer and storytelling. Today Gastown is a historic section of the Canadian metropolis, and the lively pubs still reflect the area’s former status as a sort of community drinking center. The city’s forests, grand parks, and impressive suspension bridge beckon travelers to explore them, as do the city’s shops and museums. Relive the glory of the 2010 Winter Games with visits to Olympic venues and the marvelous Olympic Cauldron.

I have bought two beautiful prints made by Northwest Coast artists from the Douglas Reynolds Gallery. One I purchased directly from the gallery, and one I purchased online which then had to be shipped. In both instances, the gallery was very helpful and professional. My second print was shipped to the United States during Covid. The gallery was communicative during the process of matting, framing, crating and finally shipping. The print arrived in perfect condition, beautifully framed and more lovely than it had appeared online. Thank you so much Erica!

Sam's Original Art delivers beautifully painted modern artwork with outstanding attention to detail right to you. We cut out all the middle men, we don't have a large gallery in a high rent district. That means you get the highest-quality art at a radically lower (and much fairer) price.
