Museum of Anthropology at UBC

Museum of Anthropology at UBC is a collection-led encounter with cultural expression, with particular depth in the Indigenous cultures of the Northwest Coast. Monumental works and closely observed objects reward a slower visit that gives the artists and communities more attention than a quick photograph.

Allow two to three hours inside the museum and additional travel time to the University of British Columbia campus. Start with the museum's own orientation and current exhibitions, then follow the collections that interest you rather than trying to absorb every case.

Admission is paid, with eligibility concessions and a current Thursday-evening discount. The museum closes on Mondays during its published autumn-to-spring schedule, so check the date before making the campus journey. Use the museum's accessibility and getting-here guidance for the correct entrance and practical transport arrangements.
