The UBC Museum of Anthropology is one of Canada's foremost museums, renowned for its Northwest Coast collections and collaborative approach to working with First Nations and other cultural communities. In order to extend its role as a public and research institution, we have embarked upon a major expansion project, increasing our size by 50% by 2010, and creating unprecedented opportunities for research, teaching, and public enjoyment. In May 2008, we completed construction of the new wing (Phase I of the project), into which we have temporarily installed all of the objects from our former Visible Storage Galleries. Once renovation of the existing building is complete, those objects will be moved back into our new Multiversity Galleries (formerly Visible Storage). This dramatically re-designed space will incorporate magnificent custom-built cases now being manufactured in Italy, as well as interpretation spaces, a presentation circle, and electronic access to information, images, and rich media related to the objects in MOA's collection. When MOA re-opens on March 9, 2009, the Multiversity Galleries and MOA’s major temporary exhibition gallery will still be under construction, although our lobby, Shop, theatre gallery, small exhibit gallery adjacent to the Great Hall, and all other existing public spaces will have been refreshed. MOA’s grand re-launch of ALL of our new spaces is being planned for January 2010, to coincide with the Cultural Olympiad. Check our website often for updates, and be sure to visit us in the Spring when our elegant gift shop, enjoyable tours, and expansive new facility rentals program are once again up and running!
