The Museum of Vancouver (MOV) announced the opening of its latest exhibition baptized Vancouver in the Seventies: Photos from a Decade that Changed the City.
 

The exhibition will present 400 images from the Vancouver Sun newspaper archives, as well as a number of 1970s artefacts from the Museum’s collection that depict the era. Throughout these photos, the style of the 1970s will be evident. The images are organized around themes of protesting, building, performing, and playing in Vancouver.
 
MOV Senior Curator Viviane Gosselin describes the images as “stunning snapshots of an intense period of self-discovery and growing up for Vancouver. They capture the beauty of everyday events and chronicle the drama of pivotal moments that continue to shape the city.”

The exhibition will be on view from October 13, 2016 through February 26, 2017. The MOV is located at 1100 Chestnut Street, Vancouver, BC.
