What to do and see in Granville Street, Canada: The Best Museums
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.

You will leave this gallery with a new level of appreciation for Bill Reid's artistry and Northwest Coast Indian Art in general. The design of the gallery is excellent and both the permanent and temporary exhibits are well presented. A place of the heart.

Chali-Rosso Art Gallery first opened its door in 2005 on South Granville’s Gallery Row. After the collection has quadrupled in size the gallery had to look for a bigger location and moved to its current address, to the heart of Downtown Vancouver. The collection is primarily focused on graphic works of the Modern Masters, including Pablo PICASSO, Salvador DALI, Marc CHAGALL, Joan MIRO and Henri MATISSE. In addition, we also offer works by REMBRANDT, Pierre-Auguste RENOIR, Edgar DEGAS, Edouard MANET, Andy WARHOL and a variety of others. The gallery launched the Definitely Dali project in May 2017, which will be on till the end of September. The featured sculpture of the project, Salvador Dali's Dance of Time I, is on public display at Hornby and W. Hastings Street, 3 blocks from the gallery. There are also close to 100 Dali works showcased in the gallery, beside the works by the other masters.

Lovely little art gallery in the centre of the city, a great way to spend some time on a rainy day. Art works were a perfect mixture of statues, beside the annual Dali exhibition a few pieces from local artist Richard Forbes, and works from 20th century European artists, just name a few, Chagall, Miro and Picasso (hint, name of the gallery ;) and some more from Mr. Brainwash. To see all these museum quality pieces at that close was a great experience, exploring all the small details…. And it was free! This was my first visit but I'm sure I will be back when visiting Vancouver next time!

Great Change, much better use for a beautiful structure. The curator for this facility does an excellent presentation of both current exhibitions-1: Cabins and Milne. Milne was a isolationist and you see in his work this trait of a person with a lot of ability. I like his first period in which he emulates Matisse.
