The G’psgolox totem pole is in the glass cabinet on the floor.
"The Haisla totem pole began its epic journey on 23 March, from the Museum of Ethnography in Stockholm. It travelled by road to the Swedish port of Gothenburg, where it was wheeled on board the roro decks of the cargo vessel Maersk Wind for its four-week, 9103-mile sea journey via the Panama Canal to the port of Tacoma, Washington, where it was then loaded onto a truck for a 141-mile trip to Vancouver."

Everyone should visit The Museum of Anthropology. Locals and tourists alike. It is a gem.
The MOA is a place of world arts and culture. Its strength is the art and culture of British Columbia.
Plan to spend a day there. Pack a lunch and enjoy it at the beach. You'll have a great day!
Go green. Take public transportation. Take any bus that gives UBC as its destination. You'll get a mini tour of the city.

The rainbow-coloured boat that resembles a bathtub toy is a water taxi. Water taxis take locals, commuters and tourists from downtown Vancouver, across False Creek to Granville Island - a very enjoyable way to travel in the city.
Happy Thanksgiving!
