Adopt a Piece of Vancouver History
Do you have a passion for history, a fascination with true crime, or a desire to preserve the stories of Vancouver's past?
Perhaps, you're just searching for a unique and thoughtful gift for the person who genuinely already has everything?
The Vancouver Police Museum is thrilled to launch our Adopt an Artifact program, giving you the unique chance to become a vital part of our preservation efforts.
We have selected some of our favourite on-display and off-display artifacts for you to adopt. Your symbolic adoption directly funds the conservation and care of these unique objects, ensuring their stories can be told for generations to come.
The Benefits of Adoption
When you adopt an artifact, you're not just donating—you're joining our curatorial team. Every adoption is valid for 12 months and includes:
-
Official Adoption Certificate: A personalized certificate with your name, the history and details of your adopted object.
-
VIP Access: A Membership Card granting you and one guest free, unlimited access to the Vancouver Police Museum for the adoption period.
• Exclusive Visit: If your chosen artifact is currently not on
display, you will be invited for a private visit to our Curatorial
Room (closed to the public) to view your
object up close!

The Signature Adoption:
The Overspill Morgue is the ultimate opportunity for the dedicated history enthusiast.
Located in the lower level of our historic building, our infamous Overspill Morgue is a truly unique place — a stark reminder of Vancouver’s grittier past.* Exclusive Adoption: Unlike our other objects, the Overspill Morgue may only be adopted by one person.
This adoption offers the highest level of support and recognition for the museum.
Be the sole custodian of this unforgettable piece of Vancouver history!
