All 22 heritage neon signs on display in a years-long exhibition at the Museum of Vancouver (MOV) will be permanently relocated to the interior publicly accessible common areas of The Post redevelopment in downtown Vancouver.
In late 2019, MOV and redevelopment owner QuadReal Property Group initially announced a partnership to give three neon signs a new home at The Post, but an announcement this week shows the initiative has now grown by more than sevenfold.
...
To prepare for the relocation of the signs, the museum exhibit will permanently close on June 29, 2022. Operating hours in the evening will be extended on select dates, given the popularity of the exhibit. A special celebration event will also be held next month to close the gallery out.
The public will again be able to view and experience the signs in Fall 2023 when The Post reaches full completion. The first phase of The Post, the new south office tower fronting West Georgia Street, will open later in 2022.

Folks, if you haven't checked out the Neon Display at the museum of Vancouver then I highly recommend making some time to do so on a sunny Summer day because the display is pretty awesome
.
I personally love the idea of re-homing these historical neon signs in a redeveloped heritage building - and I think that the interior of the Post is going to over-deliver with this extra added bit of historical respect reinserted into its public areas.
