Mordern, Free, Best Art Museums in Killarney

"Just because Vancouver is surrounded by some of the world’s most stunning natural beauty doesn’t mean you should come to expect nothing beautiful indoors too. The city’s Art Gallery, located in downtown Vancouver, is home to over 10,000 art pieces, ranging from Canadian and British paintings to the photographic works of artists like Ansel Adams and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Guided tours are always available, but for something both interactive and slightly different, try to make it for a FUSE event, where DJ’s and artists perform throughout the galleries from 8 pm to 1 am."

"Spend the rest of the afternoon on the city’s famous shopping strip, Robson Street, or familiarize yourself with the works of British Columbia’s best known artist, Emily Carr, at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Finish off the day with dinner at a restaurant with a view of Vancouver’s majestic mountains."

"The Vancouver Art Gallery is a small but mighty gallery filled with cool exhibits that switch up every so often. Grab some clean shots with the art deco-style interior, or snap some photos of the artwork. It’s located in downtown Vancouver, and Tuesday evenings are pay-what-you-can by donation!"

"Museum of Anthropology at UBC: An informative museum highlighting The First Nations of Canada. Kitsilano Beach: An excellent place to relax with scenic views of Vancouver. You can also swim here when the weather is warm."

"Hidden behind the unassuming doors of the Rennie Museum is one of Canada’s largest collections of contemporary art. Opened in 2009, the collection focuses on topics that surround identity, social commentary, injustice and appropriation. Entrance is free but the museum is only open to the public on Saturdays by appointment."

"A private museum that you have to book to get into, but definitely worth the minimal effort required. Make a story out of the exhibition, and take a main page post on the roof, it’s a win-win scenario. Definitely one of the coolest buildings you can check out in Vancouver."

"Make sure to stop off for a drink at Keefer Bar and Fortune Sound Club and check out Rennie Collection at Wing Sang (which offers free entry). You can also visit some of the firm-favourites such as; Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden and the Millennium Gate."

The gallery also displays the artwork of established modern artists such as Johanan Herson, Elena Yampolsky and Shai Mandel."

"Posing with lovely new friends at Elan Fine Art in front of Landon Mackenzie’s “Mirror Square” painting. A post shared by ELAN FINE ART (@elanfineart) on Nov 27, 2017 at 1:14pm PST. Elan Fine Art displays historical and contemporary art of quality for art enthusiasts living across Metro Vancouver."

"A relatively new name in the city, Mello has opted for a pretty specific type of donut- brioche, and essentially all the filled versions. What that means for us is an array of some delicious flavours, ranging from London Fog to Black Sesame and classic Strawberry. Pro tip- you get a pretty serious discount buying a half-dozen, so maybe take these to your next small dinner party as dessert."

"Parallel 49 (1950 Triumph Street) is one of Vancouver's leading craft breweries (and a personal favorite — I drink Gypsy Tears at home). The Tasting Room has a whopping 40 different taps to choose from and the Street Kitchen (inside) serves up tacos to burgers and daily doughnuts to pair with your beer of choice. Pick up limited edition and rare release beers at the Beer Store or stock up on year-round favorites from the Northwest Red Ale, Ruby Tears, to the Filthy Dirty IPA and the seasonal grapefruit radler Tricycle Radler, which is a summer staple for Vancouverites."

"This brand-new tasting room from one of Vancouver’s favorite craft beers is finally back after a six-month hiatus, and the city’s beer nerds couldn’t be happier. Like pop stars reinventing themselves, Parallel 49 decided to go big or go home, crafting a tasting room with 40 beers on tap, including their hoppy, grapefruit-riddled Wobbly Pop and their Filthy Dirty IPA. Oh, and they literally brought a food truck inside the building, so you can snack on steamed pork baos and corn dogs while you imbibe."

"49th Parallel is famous for Lucky’s Donuts and (in my view at least) their pretty blue mugs. Their beans are roasted in house and it very tasty. While there are a few 49th Parallel coffee shops in Vancouver, their location in Kitsilano has a beautiful patio area making it one of the cutest places to get coffee."

"Bambudda serves contemporary Chinese food in a modern setting. Inspiration is taken from Hong Kong and southern Chinese cuisine. Modern interpretations of Dim sum are also represented on the menu."

"Try the Vegan Pho, Sate noodle soups, and Vegan bun bo hue noodle soup. Online ordering is available on DoorDash."

"A post shared by 90percent90s (@90percent90s) on Nov 9, 2018 at 1:17pm PST. After a marathon study-sesh, head right across the street of the Vancouver Public Library (the Collesseum-looking one) to Library Square. Boy oh boy, is this place fun."

"This one’s a small space, but, hey, it’s an island without the crowds you’d find on Granville Island. Watch the boat traffic navigate the Fraser River, forage on wild blackberries when in season and stroll the path just north of the park where you might encounter horses or, at the very least, um,...evidence of them. A good alternative for the similar views is the dog-friendly Fraser River Park."

"This spectacular 22-hectare (55-acre) garden in the heart of Vancouver has matured into a botanical garden of international stature since opening to the public in 1975. The mild Vancouver climate allows the cultivation of an outstanding plant collection which is a delight any time of the year. There are over 7,500 different kinds of plants assembled from six continents."
