As a Seattle resident and RBCM member, I keep coming back because the museum is spectacular. While…read moreI was very disappointed to see the Old Town exhibit (one of the most incredible I've ever seen) removed during the museum's "decolonization" process, I believe that part of the region's history could have been thoughtfully presented alongside First Nations stories and culture rather than taken away entirely (like it or not, they are intertwined, warts and all). I just don't get it. That said, the RBCM continues to hit curatorial home runs. Its exhibits are consistently imaginative, engaging, and beautifully designed--whoever leads their creative direction is a bloody genius.

The displays told a story from the dinosaurs all the way to modern Victoria. Everything was so thought out and interesting. The museum also had a limited time Egyptian display that was fascinating with tombs, everyday utensils and personal items and other artifacts. A lot of information of what was believed to be the afterlife. Highly recommended!

Came here with a group and a private tour and found the featured exhibit incredibly interesting -…read morethe artist was Manabu Ikeda and the exhibit was called Flowers from the Wreckage. I loved the collection and it was super cool to learn more about it from our tour guide. Otherwise, the rest of the exhibits were a little less interesting, and the place is small so you get through it fast. Overall a cool place if you catch the right exhibits, one of the prettiest layouts I've seen for a place and great location since it's super close to downtown.

The Museum of Anthropology (MOA) at UBC reopened on June 13, 2024, after an 18 month closure for…read morestructural & reno work. The MOA is back & even more grand than before. Do not think the Natural History Museum in London or the Met in Manhattan. That would be an - apples & oranges comparison, with the former two leading the way when it comes to museums worldwide. The MOA while not as grandiose as the Met, really stands out on its own showcasing mainly First Nations art along with other various artwork. It is a splendid museum. Budget to easily spend a minimum 3 to 5 hours here but definitely give yourself more time & do not rush. There's a lot to see here. There are guided tours available with your paid entry fee. Check at the front desk for more information. Make a note to also go outside of the museum & check out the Totems. Make sure you have a big brekkie or lunch before coming here. The cafe here sells limited items & you cannot bring drinks or food into the museum. Do check online for opening hours in order to give yourself enough time here. Limited parking is available. I parked at the Student Union building then walked over to the MOA along Main Mall & then through the Rose Garden to get here - approximately a 20 minute walk one way. It wasn't cheap but I was with visitors from out of town, so I didn't mind as I was showing them around UBC at the same time. Honestly, I can't wait to go again.

My husband and I both gasped when we passed the museum, in a "did you just see what I saw," kind of way. We absolutely love the weird and whimsical finds we discover on road-trips. Unfortunately, the museum wasn't open, so my review is simply based on the roadside attraction appeal in terms of selfie-spots. The exterior of this museum does not disappoint! Visitors will find statues of Sasquatch and all sorts of Bigfoot-related ephemera. I very much hope to check out the interior of the museum on my next pass through town, upon which I'll update this review and provide details about their hours of operation. You know there's more to this story!

A short walk from the main Whistler ski area this makes for a nice break from the slopes.
