EVENTS
Living with Long COVID
Living with Long COVID is a photography exhibition co-produced and presented at the Museum of Vancouver, in collaboration with SFU Faculty of Health Sciences and the Post-COVID-19 Interdisciplinary Clinical Care Network (PC-ICCN). The exhibition presents photographs and reflections created by 46 Longhaulers (people living with Long COVID), offering an intimate perspective on their everyday challenges and resilience. Grounded in a community-based, participatory arts approach, the project connects patients, researchers, clinicians and museum professionals to advance public understanding and dialogue about Long COVID—working to reduce stigma, strengthen patient voices, and advocate for expanded recognition and support.(Museum of Vancouver, 1100 Chestnut Street, Vancouver, Oct. 4, 2025 - Mar. 22, 2026)
Yoga at the Museum of Vancouver
Start your Sunday with an awe-inspiring view as the backdrop to a Hatha yoga session. This gentle, slower-paced style of yoga focuses on physical postures and breathing and will be all the more restorative with a stunning view of Vanier Park, English Bay, and the North Shore Mountains. It’s an ideal way to reset before the week begins. Please bring your own yoga mat; mats will not be provided. Admission to the MOV is included with your ticket.

Repatriation Monologues
Presented in conjunction with The Work of Repair: Redress & Repatriation at the Museum of Vancouver, this panel brings together voices reflecting on the complex, often deeply personal work of repatriation. Moderated by Aaron LaMaskin, the conversation focuses on the Museum of Vancouver’s collaboration with the Tŝilhqot’in National Government to return over 60 ancestral belongings—the Nation’s first repatriation from the Museum, completed in 2024. Through individual reflections and shared dialogue, the panel explores the emotional and cultural impact of repatriation, the challenges of institutional change, and the ongoing responsibilities museums face in redressing colonial harm. Attendees are invited to arrive early with their event ticket to view the exhibition.
