The Vancouver Police Museum is Canada's oldest, and it made the extremely correct decision to stay in the 1932 Coroner's Court building where it started. Inside you'll find preserved evidence, a collection of confiscated weapons, a wall of true-crime case files thick enough to fuel several competing theories, and the autopsy room where actor Errol Flynn was once examined. Which is exactly as strange and memorable as it sounds. It is small, it is gloriously weird, and it will give you roughly forty minutes of material to argue about over dinner. Open Thursday through Sunday. It sits right beside Chinatown, so you can go from a former morgue to somewhere considerably livelier in under five minutes, which is either a completely natural progression or proof that you two are extremely well-matched.
