  Give yourself plenty of time to explore this museum. It's so full of amazing history and artifacts, it's almost overwhelming. We easily spent about 3 hours here, could have been longer if we had actually read all of the descriptions of different cultural traditions.

  I really enjoyed this museum, and the architecture of the building itself is brilliant. There's a lot of stuff to take in, but my favorite part was seeing the First Nations artwork and artifacts.

  MOA is one of my favourite spots in Vancouver. The building is beautiful, the grounds are beautiful, and the collection is unique to the West Coast. I have visited this museum on numerous occasions and have never been bored.

  If you are planning a visit make sure you have no plans afterwards. This place is huge with so much to see that you won't want to rush through it. We spent an afternoon here exploring the different exhibits and collections. A definite thing to do if you are visiting Vancouver.

  One of a couple fine museums on UBC land, the MoA is worth a stop. It focuses on local cultures, but spans the globe in its scope. Plus you can combine it with a trip to the Museum of Biodiversity and a trip to Wreck Beach for a full day's entertainment.

  Fantastic collection of first nation art and artefacts. The museums exhibits are well laid out and flow nicely. There is a ton to see there so plan to be there for three hours or so.

  An astounding collection of First Nation totems, masks, bentwood boxes, baskets and hundreds of other works from gifted artists past and present right in the center of U B C.

  This museum looks small but is huge in terms of what it offers. The day we went, there was an aboriginal dance troupe doing shows in a variety of First Nations styles. One of them was so moving that my husband and I were crying by the end of it. The rhythms stayed with us all day. The docent who provided a tour of the museum was able to help us really understand the native cultures, and by the time we left we were overwhelmed by the beauty and variety of the nations. It's really easy to get to by public transportation, and the UBC campus is lovely. The museum's cafeteria is lacking in variety, but that's not important in this location.

  If you go to Vancouver without visiting the Museum of Anthropology you are making a terrible mistake. This place is absolutely phenomenal. Their collection of Northwest indigenous art blows me away every time. But you'll find so much more in their Multiversity Gallery where you can actually dig through the drawers and discover thousands of archeological and cultural treasures. The Koerner Ceramics collection was a surprise to find here at first. It's beautifully displayed and offers a wealth of ceramic examples which remarkably tie in to what was going on in the rest of the world at that time as you continue your journey through the museum. Be sure to take the free guided tour. They offer a wealth of information.

  This is a beautiful museum built by Arthur Erikson that is located on the UBC main campus. The collection of First Nations totem poles, baskets, masks, and other artifacts is massive. The written descriptions are good but many displays are, in my opinion too crowded to really enjoy. I recommend a visit to this museum and a guided tour would be beneficial, if it is available.
