Museum of Anthropology (UBC)

Perched on the edge of the University of British Columbia campus with sweeping views of the mountains and strait beyond, this museum houses one of North America's most significant collections of Indigenous art and artifacts from the Pacific Northwest. The soaring glass rotunda and dramatic carved poles create an immediate sense of awe, while intimate galleries guide you through centuries of First Nations history, artistry, and cultural heritage. You'll encounter masterfully crafted masks, intricate textiles, and powerful contemporary works that tell stories of resilience and artistic brilliance.
