It was listed as an art gallery and not an art museum, so that should have been our first clue to lower our expectations. We were warned that there was nudity and violence in one of the exhibits whic… Full review by Fred M

This is by far the worst museum that we have ever been in. The Emily Carr Exhibit was o.k., but they didn't even have a picture of her anywhere other than a self-portrait of the back of her head. O… Full review by ThomasTCat

We went to the VAG despite the poor recent reviews. After our visit we were not surprised by the fact that the majority of recent reviews were 1* and the last 5* review was back in 2022. One small r… Full review by Owdman
Hello PatGi2015, Generally photography is allowed but it does depend on the exhibitions. There will be signs posted if it is not allowed. Flash, tripods and selfie sticks are not allowed. …

Why is so little of the gallery open to the public? For $24, I expected more than half a floor of cartoons and a few Emily Carr sketches and paintings. According to reviews I have been reading, the second floor has been closed for a long time, as it was today. If you have less than half your building open, at least reduce your admission. Worst gallery visit ever.

As a visitor to Vancouver, who has toured literally hundreds of galleries all over the world, and is a supporter of my local galleries and museums. I have to answer those of you critics of my query. As you can see, many others agree with me. Some have even stopped supporting VAG, because apparently the problems are chronic. The current exhibits are meagre, overpriced and not worth the pirce of admission. Add to that, a bad attitude from gallery staff, some of whom, I suspect, are the negators in these answers. Must be hard to work in such a place, but that is no excuse to visit your deep unhappiness and condescension on people who pay your wages.
Yes, it is on the second floor (access is via a separate staircase on the western side of the gallery) and the food is varied, quite good and in a most pleasant setting. Enjoy yourselves.
