Fascinating visit. A great variety of exhibits including multidimensional. If you get the chance to visit while Firelie Baez is exhibiting, her paintings are wonderful and thought provoking. Fo…Full review by Anita m

The Vancouver Art Gallery was so disappointing to me. For the major art gallery of one of Canada's three world cities, it was underwhelming. We went mainly to see the Emily Carr exhibit. Carr is Br…Full review by Spruce_grouse

I was really disappointed with the museum. The art in the museum was not that impressive but they did try to showcase local art. It just wasn’t really well setup, the art wasn’t that impressive (full…Full review by pichonman

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.
