The Museum of North Vancouver (MONOVA) opened on December 4, 2021. It is located in the City of North Vancouver. As an institution, it includes the Archives of North Vancouver, which is located in the District of North Vancouver.
History
The museum was opened at the cost of $7.6 million. $6.1 million was invested by the City of North Vancouver, the Province of British Columbia, and the Government of Canada. The remaining $1.5 million came from private foundations, businesses, and individuals through a fundraising campaign by the Friends of the North Vancouver Museum and Archives Society.[1]
The Archives of North Vancouver are located in a heritage building, the former Fourth Lynn Valley School, which was renovated in 2005.[2]
