The Museum is moving
After 40 incredible years at the historic Coroner's Court and old City Morgue, it's time for the VPMA to move.
Your last day to visit the Police Museum at 240 East Cordova is October 31st. We will then reopen in mid November at level 2 -351 Abbott street, with elevator access, a beautiful new theatre and reimagined displays.
Please come visit us before we move and experience a side of Vancouver you've never seen before.

The new museum space at 351 Abbott street will be soft opening on Saturday November 14th.
Staff are so excited to welcome everyone into see what we have been working on these past few weeks.
The current display space is a little smaller than the old space as we are taking the time to create new and incredible displays and we are excited to slowly unveil these over the next couple of months.
