The recently rebranded MOV has upped its game with cool temporary exhibitions and regular late-opening parties for adults. It hasn't changed everything, though. There are still colorful displays on local 1950s pop culture and 1960s hippie counterculture – a reminder that Kits was once the grass-smoking center of Vancouver's flower-power movement.
There's plenty of hands-on stuff for the history-minded kids here, including weekend scavenger hunts and fun workshops. The museum is hoping to relocate to a downtown site in future years, so check their website for progress reports.
