Vancouver Museum
There is a parallel in the histories of the city of Vancouver and the Vancouver Museum. Soon after the C.P.R. arrived in 1887, an art association was formed. In 1894, it expanded into the "Art, Historical, and Scientific Association of Vancouver", and its members began collecting artifacts for a museum.In 1905, the museum opened in the Carnegie Library, and began an uphill climb, that was to survive two World Wars, and the great depression. These calamities took their toll on the citizens of Vancouver, but when times were toughest, they rallied behind their museum.
