BC Mountaineering Through the Ages in the New Museum of North Vancouver

Barbara Hilden, curator of MONOVA, which opened on December 4th, 2021, says the history of mountaineering has been woven into the very fabric of life on the North Shore. “Our early evaluations of what stories the museum should tell showed a passion for place and passion for adventure. That came off loud and clear from the community as a major theme,” says Hilden. “It’s not a huge gallery, but one-third of it, or a little less, is dedicated to the important stories of mountaineering.”
