Top Attractions Of UBC

The world-class Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia (UBC) is by far the best of the town's museums and galleries, despite the fact that it might not initially seem to be a point of interest. The museum has a significant portion of its collection devoted to the art and way of life of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest coast, which is highlighted by a spectacular collection of totem poles and large-scale carvings. The large campus, which houses over 37,000 students, is 13 km from the city centre and situated on the western edge of a large peninsula that is bordered by English Bay. Given the time you will need to spend visiting the site - allow at least 30 minutes whether travelling by bus, car, or taxi from Downtown it is also very well worth seeing some of the other areas of interest on and around the campus. If you only have a limited amount of time, you must visit the lovely Nitobe Memorial Garden and the beautiful Botanical Garden. For a stretch of time on the well-known Wreck Beach, a stretch of sand well-known for its clothing-optional sunbathing covering, you could need to pack appropriately if you were going on an extended stay. If you prefer a more formal atmosphere, you can swim at the UBC Aquatic Centre.If you took delivery or rode your bike to college, you should probably also look at the University Endowment Lands. This vast territory includes a school but is also home to huge stretches of semi-wilderness and forested terrain. The area southeast of the Lands, which includes a spot named Pacific Spirit Regional Park that was established in 1988 and is over twice the size of Stanley Park, may be compared to much the same extent. You cannot simply visit the UBC campus and go to the park or the Endowment Lands; you must arrange for delivery in order to have access to them.

Museum of Anthropology

Discover the traditional and modern artwork of the First Nations of the Northwest Coast and other civilizations. Discover exquisite Indigenous weavings, sculptures, and modern art in a stunning structure with views of the sea and mountains. View the greatest collection of renowned Haida artist Bill Reid's creations ever assembled, including his well-known cedar sculpture The Raven and the First Men. Discover the Multiversity Galleries of the Museum, which include more than 10,000 items on display from across the globe. Take a stroll through the Museum Grounds, where grand Haida homes, poles, and Musqueam house posts reflect the dramatic majesty of traditional Northwest Coast architecture and design. Visit the MOA Shop and take in a variety of special exhibitions and public activities, including free guided gallery walks. The Musqueam people's traditional, ancestral, and unceded land is where MOA is located.
