Description
This is a MUST SEE place of world arts and cultures with a special emphasis on the First Nations peoples and other cultural communities of British Columbia, Canada. The buildingis full of glass and massive First Nations sculptures. Designed by architect Arthur Erickson to be on a steep point it reflects the cedar post and beam constructions found in traditional Northwest Coast Aboriginal villages. Erickson described the MOA as “a work of light and shadows, a building perfectly harmonized and nestled in its landscape, designed to resonate to the metronome of the seasons and the diverse cultural collections which it houses.” (with poles and long houses outside).

Self-led tour for 90 mins (available languages-on a MOA app-English, French, Mandarin).
