anybody know what the typefaces are?

my guesses:

VANCOUVER
- i have no idea. i was thinking maybe its a version of frutiger from some obscure foundry.
- the top extension of the ‘E’ has an angle on it that is really throwing me off.

museum:
- it looks like bodoni to me but the top serif stems are off. is this a bodoni that somebody tried to customize?

Can anybody shed some light on this for me?

VANCOUVER is the FF Kievit by Dutch Michael Abbink.

Hmm, not sure about that, elzo.

The E is like meta, but meta seems more condensed

Darn, but I was close… wasn’t I? :)
