I wasn't expecting to enjoy a museum visit, but the Museum of Anthropology at UBC truly exceeded my expectations. The MOA's collection of Indigenous arts and culture is outstanding, showcasing incredible craftsmanship and storytelling. I particularly appreciated the opportunity to learn about the rich history and traditions of Indigenous communities. The museum's unique blend of cultural and artistic exhibits makes it a must-visit destination in Vancouver. Highly recommended!

Great place to learn more about indigenous art and culture. However, I would have loved to learn more about the significance and meaning behind the animals on the totem poles and the way of living. Also, how some of the traditions are similar across various cultures and geographies. There were a lot of artifacts in an exhibit of various regions from Asia to the Americas but it felt like it was missing some explanation or storytelling. Lovely building and exterior grounds. The outdoor area is a nice place for quiet contemplation on a sunny day.

One of the most unique and thoughtful museums in Vancouver. The architecture alone is worth seeing, and the exhibits give a deep and moving look into Indigenous cultures, especially from the Pacific Northwest. Everything feels respectfully presented, with a lot of space to take things in quietly. It’s not just about artifacts, it’s about stories and perspectives. A calm, meaningful visit that sticks with you long after

Fabulous museum, so interesting and the galleries tour was fantastic. Highly recommend the tour- I would never have made it to some of the exhibits or appreciated the exhibits as much if I hadn’t taken the tour. Fabulous First Nations collection, sensitively handled. I learned a ton and really enjoyed seeing all the fantastic art and cultural objects. Great temporary exhibits too and really excellent use of first person audio and video. Deeply enjoyed, could have easily spent much longer.
