10 Best Museums in Vancouver | Condé Nast Traveler

"A small sign above a Downtown Eastside doorway doesn’t offer many clues about the Vancouver Police Museum, but inside is one of the quirkiest and most fascinating stops for true-crime obsessives. The heritage building comes by its role honestly, too; until 1980, it housed both the Coroner’s Court and autopsy facilities—the morgue drawers and autopsy tables are still in place—and, until 1996, the City Analyst’s lab. Now run by the Vancouver Police Historical Society, the museum boasts roughly 20,000 objects, from the earliest iterations of the Breathalyzer to actual murder weapons." - Jennifer Van Evra
