This is a wonderful museum - there was so much there you need more than one visit. It is a long way out of the city, but accessible by bus. It has pleasant parkland round it where one could picnic, & is suitable for the whole family.

It is a relatively small museum, not the kind that you can't see complete. There is the standing exhibit of the local aboriginal population, with the totem poles and other cedar wood artifacts. Now there is also an exposition of Middle Eastern modern art. We took the 1/2 hr. tour to go through it and it was worthwhile.

The museum is pretty small but does have some interesting things if you like American Indian Art and some ancient artifacts from the area. They had some American Indian dancers in costumes that were chanting in the main hall that the kids thought was fun until it got political. I don't think that they should use the museums for political...

This museum is a must see if you want to see unusual and interesting artifacts (including GIANT totem poles) by the First Nation peoples of Vancouver. My husband didn't want to go at first because it is a bit out of the way from the downtown area, but after we took a complementary guided tour, he said it was one...

I must admit, I am not a museum person. Artifacts behind glass is not my thing. But this Museum of Anthropology is different. Sure, it has it room of artifacts in drawers (which are fascinating!), but it also has lots of amazing art to enjoy. The main gallery with its floor to ceiling windows is one of my favourite rooms...

Very educational in an elegant setting. I really enjoyed the depth of the collections on display. I felt a sense of calm during my visit, and it definitely rates a return visit to learn more.
Absolutely beautiful! The natural light just makes the totem poles resound their beauty even better. I recommend taking the highlights tour of the galleries, which was highly informative, plus the guides were pretty knowledgeable. This is a medium-sized museum that isn't too overwhelming. Enjoyed it lots!
Bit of a trek out on the bus but so worth it. Learned so much interesting stuff. Take the 1 hour free guided tour. You'll understand so much more about the totems and other items on display, of which there is masses. Don't miss this.
This museum is amazing. Bring your camera! In addition to a large Totem Pole and Bentwood Box collection, there is a huge gallery of artifacts from different cultures. In addition to the displays, large pull-out drawers have even more artifacts.
Handicap spaces are right in front of the museum. Don't follow the parking signs, just turn right when you get...

It took us a while to get here by bus and wlaking but once here it was worth it. So much to see and you could spend hours and hours here and still not see everything.
It was really interesting and the tour guide very informative.
We both loved it especially the fastinating look back in time, the old photos...
