10 Best Museums in Vancouver | Condé Nast Traveler

"An astonishing 2.1 million specimens from all walks of life form the backbone of the Beaty Biodiversity Museum, Vancouver’s natural history museum. But the biggest show-stopper is the gigantic blue whale skeleton, one of just 21 on display worldwide. Once you scrape your jaw off the floor—seriously, the whale is 82 feet long—you can thrill your inner science geek with the many other collections, which range from tetrapods to fossils to insects, all tightly tucked into a moderately sized museum." - Jennifer Van Evra
