If you have a real fascination with crime or an interest in the history of the Vancouver police department, this museum will occupy an hour of your time; if not, I wouldn't recommend a visit. It's a well-meaning, old-fashioned place housed in the old Vancouver Coroner's Court (where actor Errol Flynn was autopsied in 1959 after dropping dead in the arms of a 17-year-old girl) and dedicated to memorializing some of the best cops and worst crimes in the city's short but colorful history. The confiscated illegal-weapons display is hair-raising, along with the morgue, a simulated autopsy room (with pieces of damaged body parts in specimen bottles), and forensics lab (sleuths of all ages can partake in the Forensic Science program on Sun noon-4pm). More fun and a lot more fascinating is the 2-hour Sins of the City Walking Tour, which departs from the museum Tuesdays at 10am and Saturdays at 4pm (late May to late Sept) and covers (or uncovers) the history of vice in a 10-block area around the museum. Tour cost is C$12 (US$10/£5) for adults, C$10 (US$8/£4.50) seniors and students; it's essential to make reservations 1 day ahead. If you take the walking tour, you can visit the museum for free.
