UBC Museum of Anthropology - A Cultural Bomb! 🌲🌊
If you think Vancouver's charm is only downtown, you're missing out BIG TIME! Let me introduce you to my secret weapon - the UBC Museum of Anthropology (MOA). This place isn't just a museum; it's a full-sensory cultural experience! 📍 MOA at UBC (Where mountain meets ocean on campus!) Why This Place Blows Minds 💥 🏛️ Architectural Marvel Designed by Arthur Erickson in 1976 with Indigenous longhouse inspiration - those concrete beams + glass walls framing totem poles? Pure genius! 🌎 Global Indigenous Treasures • Bill Reid's "The Raven and the First Men" (Canada's cultural icon!) • Towering totem poles in a cathedral-like gallery • 9,000+ artifacts from African masks to Asian textiles 🎨 Rotating Exhibits From contemporary Indigenous art to immersive digital installations - always fresh! 🌿 Nature Bonus Trails to Pacific Spirit Park + wreck beach views after your visit Pro Tips ✨ Thursday Nights: Extended hours till 9PM (perfect date night!) Free Tours: Daily guided highlights at 2PM Combo It: Pair with Nitobe Garden next door #MOAVancouver #IndigenousArt #HiddenGems #CulturalDeepDive #ArchitectureLovers #UBCMustSee #MuseumHack #VancouverBeyondDowntown
