Vancouver Police Museum & Archives

Neat (little) museum if you're looking for an hour to kill doing something a different. They have some interesting true crime stories, autopsy findings, and confiscated weapons. Local history is always something I like to learn about when visiting a new area and I learned a lot here. I'd say it's worth the admission price and a stop if you're in the area.

Absolutely full of great information. Past murders, corrupt police officers, the effects of riots. I saw a prison cell for the very first time in my life. It was interesting to read stories from investigations and cases of the past. It shows that human issues are generally the same. Learnt a lot from this museum. Will definitely come back.Took points away because of the surrounding and location. Take note, there are loads of alcoholics roaming around, drug addicts etc in this area not sure if the museum can do anything about it though. I was afraid of my safety and rethinking if I want to bring my kids back. There is a drug problem in Vancouver. Also, I noticed there is no wheelchair access.. Overall thanks to the police museum for this place. I learnt a lot.

Really enjoyed this museum. It has things for everyone, and has QR codes (and wifi) to see additional audio and video clips of the exhibits. Loved the pathology and morgue exhibits as well as the famous cases in history. Well worth a visit!

Intriguing! Well curated blend of VPD history, curious crimes, and current issues. Surprisingly comprehensive for the space. Staff are fantastic! Our favourite exhibits were the murder cases and mug shots profiles. Run by a society that clearly cares and makes the most of limited funding. Not a large museum, we took our time over 2 hrs. Go, learn, and show your support!

A very special museum with interesting exhibits, especially the room that deals with crimes solved after many years. The autopsy room was a bit too extreme

My favourite museum in Vancouver! Loved the autopsy suite, well worth a visit!!

Friendly and helpful staff, informative and interesting exhibits. My 16 year old daughter, who I never would have thought would enjoy this place, perused the exhibits for close to an hour. She really enjoyed reading about the history of various crimes, weapons, late enforcement. I agree with other parents: very comprehensive. Autopsy room with bio samples on display, guns and ammo display, cars and transportation, history, video and photos and clips of passed crimes, prison cell display, so so so much! . All easily accessible and digestible. Right in the downtown and close walk to lunch places.

Very interesting place where you can learn about the history of Vancouver's police department.It is located in an old coronel's office and still some of the appliance of that place.Worth a visit that wouldn't last more than an hour.

A tough place to get to if you have mobility issues. I feel it was lacking in content overall.

A great and very interesting museum. Very educational, and all the extra content and audio tour available via QR code throughout the exhibition is excellent. Can easily spend 1.5-2 hours here
