 Museum of Anthropology 

 Museum of Anthropology, a place Of World Arts And Cultures. Through challenging and creative programmes and relationships with Indigenous, local, and international communities, MOA is dedicated to advancing awareness and understanding of culturally diverse ways of experiencing the world.

Sure, here are some more details about the Museum of Anthropology:

History: The Museum of Anthropology was founded in 1947 by Harry Hawthorn, a professor of anthropology at the University of British Columbia, and his wife, Dr. Audrey Hawthorn. The museum was initially located in a small room in the university's library, but it quickly outgrew this space and moved to its current location in 1976. The building was designed by architect Arthur Erickson and is known for its dramatic concrete and glass structure that blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.

Collections: The Museum of Anthropology's collections comprise over 50,000 objects from around the world, including artifacts from First Nations cultures of the Pacific Northwest, as well as objects from Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Some of the museum's most significant collections include:

• The Bill Reid Collection: This collection features a large number of works by Bill Reid, a Haida artist and carver who played a key role in the revitalization of First Nations art in the 20th century. The collection includes his most famous works, such as The Raven and the First Men, a large carving that depicts a Haida creation story.
• The Koerner Collection: This collection includes over 4,000 ceramic objects from around the world, including works by Canadian and international artists.
• The Northwest Coast First Nations Collection: This collection includes a large number of objects from the First Nations cultures of the Pacific Northwest, including carved masks, totem poles, and other ceremonial objects.

Facilities: In addition to its galleries, the Museum of Anthropology features a number of other facilities, including:

• The Museum Shop: The shop offers a wide range of books, jewelry, and other objects inspired by the museum's collections.
• The MOA Café: The café serves coffee, tea, and light meals, as well as wine and beer.
