New Master Planning Process for Museum Cluster

When it comes to museums, the city acknowledges that its civic museum cluster at Vanier Park is in need of a “major renewal.” This cluster includes the Museum of Vancouver, Vancouver Maritime Museum, and the HR McMillian Space Centre.

City staff have indicated they are conducting early research that will lead to a new master planning process for the Vanier Park museum cluster.

  • In 2020, the Vancouver Archives are being relocated from Vanier Park to the Vancouver Public Library Central Branch
  • The COV Arts, Culture and Community Services have implemented Making Space for Arts and Culture and committed to address acute space challenges. Their mission is to optimize City policies, tools, programs and investment priorities to secure, enhance and develop vibrant, affordable and accessible arts and cultural spaces. They have begun planning work for Vanier Park.
