The Rennie Collection

The Wing Sang building is the oldest in Vancouver Chinatown. The Victorian Italianate structure was constructed in 1889 for Yip Sang, a prominent Chinese-Canadian businessman whose Wing Sang Company flourished in an era when the Chinese faced discrimination and restrictions. In 1901 the building was extended to 69 East Pender Street by architect Thomas Ennor Julian. In 1912, Yip Sang built a six-storey brick building across the alley behind Pender Street for his family.
More than four years of thoughtful restoration and renovation has turned this Vancouver heritage landmark into a private exhibition space for the Rennie Collection, an internationally acclaimed collection of contemporary art. Elegant, clean lines integrate with rich historic elements to create expansive spaces for art with focus on identity, social injustice, appropriation, painting and photography.
Location: 51 East Pender Street, Vancouver
