Vancouver Centennial Police Museum

|
A bizarre, macabre, and delightful little place, the Police Museum is dedicated to memorializing some of the best crimes and crime-stoppers in the city's short but colorful history. Housed in the old Vancouver Coroner's Court -- where actor Errol Flynn was autopsied after dropping dead in the arms of a 17-year-old girl -- the museum features photos, text, and vintage equipment from files and evidence rooms of Vancouver's finest. The confiscated illegal-weapons display looks like the props department for the film Road Warrior. There's also a morgue with bits and pieces of damaged body parts on the wall, a simulated autopsy room, a forensics lab, and a police radio room. On the lighter side, the museum also houses an immense collection of matchbox-size toy police cars from around the world.
