Mordern, Free, Best Art Museums in West Vancouver

"Located in Vancouver’s former main courthouse, the Vancouver Art Gallery is the largest art museum in Western Canada. Francis Rattenbury designed the neoclassical building in 1905, and it features marble imported from Vermont, Tennessee, and Alaska. In 1980, it became a Canadian National Historic Site."

"Combining blockbuster international shows with selections from its striking contemporary collection, the VAG is a magnet for art fans. There are often three or four different exhibitions on its public levels but... Beach in Downtown & West End"

"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."

"Known for its rich and creamy ice cream made with liquid nitrogen—with popular flavours such as double Oreo and Thai milk tea—this Yaletown spot also makes delicious ice cream sandwiches. Try the crème brûlée ice cream sammie with an extra matcha dip—the slightly burnt sugar paired with vanilla bean ice cream and a crumbly cookie crust truly hits the spot every time."

"A post shared by MISTER ARTISAN ICE CREAM (@madebymister) on Jul 19, 2019 at 6:12pm PDT. These ice cream sandwiches are made with liquid nitrogen and local products in a ton of amazing flavours. Think Double Orero, Matcha, and torched Crème Brûlée – this Yaletown neighbourhood spot is a must-hit for sweet treats."

"I tried liquid nitrogen ice cream for the first time ever at Mister’s, and it was really good, but hella expensive. They switch up their menu from time to time, and the lavender crème brûlée and Thai iced tea flavours I tried were amazing. Definitely the perfect spot in Vancouver to visit for ice cream lovers!"

"Japadog first appeared in 2005, but it was really when Anthony Bourdain visited the Japanese fusion hot dog cart for the first episode of his fourth season of No Reservations, which aired in January 2008, that the cart took off.
