About

Explore traditional and contemporary art from Northwest Coast First Nations and other cultures across the world.

Description

Just 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver and the Vancouver International Airport, the Museum of Anthropology at UBC houses one of the world’s finest displays of Northwest Coast First Nations arts in a spectacular Arthur Erikson designed building overlooking mountains and sea.

See magnificent carvings, weavings and contemporary artworks inside the soaring glass and concrete structure of the Museum’s Great Hall.

Admire the world’s largest collection of works by acclaimed Haida artist Bill Reid, including his famous cedar sculpture The Raven and the First Men.

Explore the Museum’s Multiversity Galleries where more than 16,000 objects from around the world are displayed.

Visit the award-winning Koerner Ceramics Gallery, displaying a collection of European ceramics unique to North America.

Stroll the Museum’s grounds, where monumental Haida houses, poles and Musqueam house posts capture the dramatic beauty of traditional Northwest Coast architecture and design.

Enjoy a wide range of special exhibitions and public programs, including free guided gallery walks.

We acknowledge that MOA is situated on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Musqueam people.
