Museum of Anthropology - Vancouver

by Jenavieve

Activity

The Museum of Anthropology lies on the edge of the University of British Columbia on the cliffs of Point Grey. The location is spectacular. The museum has one of the finest displays of west coast First Nations art. Also a collection of European ceramics.

Age Group

I would say this activity is best for older children and adults.
