One of the best museums I have been to in a long time. So much to see an read and it was all so interesting. The museum covers indigenous cultures from all over the world. When we went they also had a 10 year anniversary exhibit on the earthquake in Japan. Highly recommend to everyone.

Beautiful galleries that include drawers you can pull out and explore for hours. We joined a quick tour and wandered after. The tour was very well done, and included learning how a canoe was made and getting to touch it. There were audio/visual instillations that let us sit back and listen to oral histories, and just over all well designed displays. Only thing I wish they had were some dates on collections.

A great place to visit in UBC. You can get a walking tour of the famous campus at the same time. We enjoyed the museum and there are tons of interesting items to see. Planning to go back in the summer.

Hadn't been in 30 years and it was as great as I remembered. I love the indigenous artifacts of course--great place to bring kids, and indigenous people get in free. But the international collection is great as well--so much human creativity on display. And the temporary exhibit was fantastic.

Amazing collection at this Museum! I went to see the Xicanx exhibition but the real star were their archives that are usually hidden from the public in other museums. Stuff from all over the world really feels like you're seeing the beauty of world cultures from a single place.

4.5 starsThe place is not huge but still with a lot of artworks. Despite the famous totem poles, there are also a great collection of asian artworks (Chinese, Korean, Japanese), also a bunch of Mexican artworks. The downside is most artworks only have a label that says where it come from, no more stories behind that.Overall a good place to go to, especially if you love totem poles.

Such a stunning museum! (See tips below.) Take your time, soak it up, and enjoy the incredible exhibits! I spent 2 hrs and it wasn’t nearly enough time.The rotating Xicanx exhibit was so powerful.Tips:- take advantage of the student discount- there are lockers near the washrooms where you can store your items- open the drawers in the multiversity gallery- take your time and take a rest when you need to- be sure to leave time for the outdoor exhibits!

Insightful and beautiful at the same time. I was especially thrilled to see so many displays from Haida artists. The displays can catch a child's interest too and it was worth sharing and explaining the various displays.

I went on Wednesday right at opening and stayed until noon, though I could have easily stayed for the whole day for how much there was to see. The displays in each section offer an equally excellent experience whether you're a visual stroll-through type or a stop and read everything" museum goer. Personal favourite was the Bill Reid Rotunda

A truly remarkable place and a must visit even if history and indigenous culture doesn’t peek your interest. It was a very enriching experience learning and just absorbing the history being communicated through the exhibits and stories being told by the artists and curators. I’m not a museum person, but this was a 10 out of 10!
