More infoThe Vancouver Police Museum is Canada's oldest, and it made the correct call to stay in the 1932 Coroner's Court where it began. Inside sit confiscated weapons, thick true-crime files, and the autopsy room where Errol Flynn was once examined, which is exactly as strange as it sounds. Open Thursday through Sunday, it's steps from Chinatown, so you can go from a former morgue to somewhere livelier in five minutes.
Whisper unsolved-case theories in a real former morgue, complete with true-crime files, confiscated weapons, and the autopsy room where Errol Flynn was once examined, about 40 deliciously macabre minutes in the 1932 Coroner's Court building. It's open Thursday through Sunday, not for the squeamish, very much for the curious. It hands you plenty of material to argue over, and Chinatown's right beside it for somewhere livelier after.
