This wonderful museum describes itself as: A Place Of World Arts And Cultures. The main galleries and the external exhibits are focused on the local Haida culture and it's wonderful artistic expression. There is a very broad collection of artifacts from many different cultures around the world. The museum is well organized, easy to enjoy, and suitable for all ages.

There is a great deal of information and museum collections online at their website: MOA.UBC.CA.

On both visits I have found the museum to be both enlightening and inspirational concerning cultural history and origins. I would highly recommend a visit for those who have the opportunity.
