SANCTUARY: The Ancient Forest Experience

Vancouver has a remarkable way of bringing nature, culture, and community together. Beginning May 14, 2026, SANCTUARY: The Ancient Forest Experience at the Vancouver Art Gallery invites visitors into a 360-degree installation inspired by British Columbia’s ancient forests. This immersive experience explores more than the beauty of old-growth landscapes. It considers their ecological importance, cultural meaning, and spiritual significance, offering a thoughtful opportunity to reconnect with the natural world while staying in the heart of the city. Running through January 10, 2027, SANCTUARY is an ideal local outing for families, friends, visitors, and anyone curious about B.C.’s forests. After your visit, take a moment to reflect on how these places shape Vancouver’s identity and our shared responsibility to protect them.
