Museum of Anthropology

I recently visited this museum and was captivated by its impressive collection of First Nations artifacts and other cultural exhibits from around the world. The museum houses an array of relics that reflect the rich history and traditions of Indigenous peoples, including beautifully carved totem poles and a well-curated video presentation showcasing the lives of the First Nations communities. The layout of the museum is simple and straightforward, making it easy to navigate and enjoy without feeling overwhelmed. I initially spent around 1.5 hours exploring, but if you want to fully appreciate the artifacts, read the informative descriptions, and take breaks to reflect, I recommend setting aside closer to 2.5 hours. The slower pace allows you to really connect with the stories behind the objects on display. Overall, this museum offers a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in history and culture. Whether you’re interested in Indigenous heritage or enjoy learning about various cultures through artifacts, this is a must-visit. The experience is enriching and thoughtfully presented, and I would gladly return for a deeper dive next time.

They have a great collection. To be honest as someone who isn’t from an anthropology background there were some parts of the museum that was boring. But overall great experience. It was quite pricey, but I went with a school group so it was free for me. There’s a cafe/canteen you can eat at. You can store your bags in a locker with a coin.

The museum was excellent. As someone who loves history, I appreciated how it covered both historical and modern art aspects. It's important for people to understand that the original inhabitants of this land are Indigenous peoples, and they shouldn't be mistakenly referred to as 'Redskins.' We should learn to treat these individuals with respect. I highly recommend visiting this museum.
