- platypus150Melbourne, Australia27,378 contributionsI had planned my visit to come on an evening where entry was free. I then learned that these were in high demand and you had to book a month in advance to ensure a position. I did get to look over the gift shop, which had some interesting things.Written September 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lenka K1 contributionAwesome place. So many talented people at one place. Able to experience different mediums from multiple artists. Amazing to find original gifts for reasonable price. Once you walk in - you trully feels welcome. I agree totally - "The variety and quality of items they have makes this a fascinating place to support local artists. "
Perfect location too - now with available parking.Written November 19, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You won’t get in otherwise. The museum is free. The museum, housed in a historic building in Chinatown, displays the private collection of Bob Rennie, a local real estate developer and art collector. A docent walks with the group (ours was about 10-12), and leads the discussion of the various pieces. It was an interesting way to view a museum and I liked hearing the background and unusual tidbits and stories about the collection. Sometimes the discussion went on a little too long, but I would go again in a minute. Children would not be interested. We viewed pieces on the first two floors and then went up to the roof for a great view. Our tour lasted a couple of hours. There is only street parking, so plan accordingly.Written May 21, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Susanna S.Vancouver, Canada7 contributionsThe gallery moved back to Vancouver Downtown.

- 0905BOSMABoston, Massachusetts4 contributionsMaryann and Pousette Gallery are absolutely lovely. I have purchased three paintings from Pousette over the last few years and I'm always excited to see what new pieces and artists Maryann discovers next. She knows her clientele well and her customer service is impeccable. If asked, Maryann will give her honest and professional opinion about various works in order to guide you through the selection process. Buying original art can be an intimidating process but not with Maryann who makes it her personal mission to exceed your expectations and enjoy the experience from start to finish. If you aren't in the market to take home a piece of art, at the very least visit Pousette Gallery while in Vancouver as the breadth of their colorful collection will most certainly brighten your day!Written April 8, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dan HToronto, Canada78 contributionsThe gallery has been around for about 2 years, but I just found it. So glad I did. It's a bit out of the way, but well worth the visit. High quality North west coast art. I will visit it whenever I'm in Vancouver. If you love NWC art, you won't be disappointed.Written March 17, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Chris DNew Westminster, Canada3,122 contributionsFirst, the address has changed, as it appears this operation has recently moved. It can now be found at 268 Keefer, about a block north. Also difficult to find, as on second floor with poor signage. People in front office showed little understanding of my questions regarding Chinese art. Most walls empty. Perhaps things will improve, but I won't be back for a while.Written September 28, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
