Vancouver's Story Begins at MOV

The Museum of Vancouver embodies the energy, passion and spirit that makes the City of Vancouver so unique. Our vision is to inspire and foster a more socially connected, resilient and publicly engaged city. 

We invite you to align your philanthropic giving with the Museum of Vancouver’s cultural and educational offerings. Through your generosity, our community has an opportunity to access a hidden gem of national treasures as well as rare objects and belongings that spark imagination and initiate thought provoking forums for discussion and reflection. Stories, exhibitions, public programming and education programs stimulate conversations with historic and contemporary themes.

Your donation will enable MOV achieve our mission to be a gathering space that fosters connection, learning and new experiences of Vancouver's diverse communities and histories. This is achieved through our engagement priorities, which have been focused into four broad areas: 

• Redress & Decolonization

• Immigration & Diversity

• Environment & Sustainability

• Urban & Contemporary Issues

Your donation directly strengthens the reach and impact of the work we do. The MOV conserves an extraordinary collection. School and family programming reaches over 10,000 students from 5 to 15 years old, all directly impacted by your donation.

The Museum of Vancouver is a non-profit society that receives much appreciated financial support from all levels of government, including the City of Vancouver, the BC Arts Council, Canadian Heritage, the Canada Council for the Arts, foundations including the Vancouver Foundation, and from generous individuals from our community.
