By W. Ferris, Secretary.
A t present the Vancouver Museum occu i es the top a of t he Carn eg ie L ibrary, a t the corner of sating and f f f e ce streets , bu t i t is h o d t ha t er e lon the e orts o th dir o t o t ors of t he A rt , i stor i cal and ci en ti f i c A ss cia i n will lead t o the m useum being h oused in a separ ate bui ldi ng and e that t o th e exhibit of historical, scientif ic and other obj cts will be added a picture g allery worthy of Vancouver.
The m useum is well worth a visit . The tourist will find m uch t o interest hi m in a brief inspection ; the student w ho ca n spend m ore t im e will learn f rom th e objects displayed n ot only m uch about the P rovince and i ts resources ; “he will ‘ f ind m any o b ects 0 wide historical and scientif i c i nte rest. I t is i mpossi bfe in Em s brief space to do m ore t han indicate the vari ed contents of the m useum . Portraits of Va n cou ver and Cook, and t hose of Sir John MacD ona ld and other em ine nt statesm e n recall the early hi story of th e Pacif ic Coast and the p olitical work which culminated in conf edera “ ” tion . Port raits of th e Old Time rs , the f irst Cit y C ouncil, g athered t og ethe r af ter the g reat f ire of B M, and a f ine bust of the lat e Mayor David Oppe nheim er, r ecall the pioneer days of t he city and m ake on e wonder at i ts rapid prog ress.
Th e f l ora and f auna of Briti sh Colum bia a r e well illus t ra ted a n d the Grants collection of g em s . and m inerals is unique as t o size and character, as a re the other collee tions of m inerals, and this g ive s the m useum a special i n ter est f or the m ineralog ist .
A r t is f airly well repr esented by pictu res and sculpt ure b
- local artists , with a f ew exam ples of well known B ri ti a and f orei g n artists , and ethno log y, Bibliog raphy and the “ ” arts and craft s a re all represented, while the curios of “ ” p ersonal and hist orical value w h ich g ive hum an interes t
' to a m useum a r e n ot lacking . In short the m useur thoug h f alling short of the ideal of i ts direct ors, will w t o interest all ho visit i t. I ts p o u la ri ty is shown by fact tha t th e visitors averag e a m ont h.
Th e m useum is m anag ed by the Vancouver A r t, B istori cal and S cientif ic A ssoci ation , which as p art of i ts work a rrang es f ree lectures during the winte r m onths by eminent
scient ists , t ravelle rs and m en of letters . These lect ures have bee n on a variety of subjects and have p roved very
popular. The Vancouver A r t , Historical and Scient if ic A s sociation invites ladi es and g entlem en t o join ; particulars i b as t o m em bersh p ca n e obtained of the secretary.
L ike m any i nst itutions of a sim ilar character, t he m useum a beg an in a sm all w y . F or i ts inception and early org ani
za ti on in 1 889, Cap ta in and Mrs . Mellon , st ill resident in
Vancouver, m ust have their share of credit . Mr. W. Ferris,

days and has ag ain returned to t his work . Mr. H . J . de e For st, the present cur at or, w h o has held of fice f or som e
