This signature building is at the heart of the community and serves as a cultural and learning resource centre and from the rear overlooks the foreshore lands and the Fraser River.

Since time immemorial, the Musqueam people have continuously lived in what is now called Metro Vancouver. The Gallery at the Musqueam Cultural Education Resource Centre features 1300 square feet of space where the Musqueam people can share their history and culture, from their perspective. The gallery features exhibitions highlighting historic cultural objects, contemporary arts, and the sharing of Musqueam culture. The Gallery also utilizes Reciprocal Research Network (RRN) kiosks to provide a richer interactive exhibition experience.

The Musqueam Cultural Education Resource Center and Gallery has repurposed the former Four Host First Nations Pavilion that was open during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games held in Vancouver. This facility has been upgraded to include a beautiful gallery that tells the story of the thousands of years of Musqueam Nation, food services, guided tours for groups, hosted event planning, and other programming to support the facility.
