Awesome exhibit & fun location. While visiting Vancouver my partner and I wanted to check out the local sights. We took the False Creek Ferry (fun little trip!) to the museum stop and walked .6 kilometers to the Museum of Vancouver. They currently have a Happiness exhibit and it totally rad! We spent 3 hours checking out the art and we are still joyfully reflecting on the experience.
