Museum & Archives of North Vancouver (MONOVA)

Located in the heart of The Shipyards in North Vancouver, MONOVA: Museum of North Vancouver is a dynamic and innovative hub where the stories of North Vancouver’s people, places and past come to life.

MONOVA operates both the Museum of North Vancouver (115 West Esplanade) in The Shipyards and the Archives of North Vancouver (3203 Institute Road) in Lynn Valley and supports several other online/offsite experiences for the public to engage with and learn about the past, present and future stories of North Vancouver. MONOVA has signed memorandum of understanding with Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil- Waututh) Nations to focus on meaningful cultural sharing of knowledge, to improve communication between MONOVA and the Nations, and to understand, respect and follow protocols that will lead to a strengthened relationship. MONOVA is a short, 15-minute Seabus ride from downtown Vancouver. Anchored by Streetcar 153, our museum lobby has an amazing gift shop—guest can take a streetcar ride through the past as well as touring MONOVA’s Permanent and Feature Exhibit Galleries. MONOVA offers over 2,000 sq. ft. of meeting and event space available for hosting social celebrations, corporate meetings and gala events.
