The Vancouver Traveler

The Museum of Anthropology is a mandatory visit for anyone interested in West Coast Canadian history and Aboriginal art. It has one of the world’s finest displays of Northwest Coastal First Nation’s art, artifacts and an unlimited supply of cultural information. It is a great way to spend a rainy (or snowy) afternoon with the whole family and learn a lot about British Columbia’s rich First Nation’s history.
The museum is located on the campus of the University of British Columbia, about a 20 minute drive from downtown Vancouver.
