Proof that I don't just eat in Vancouver

I've told you more than once about a small gallery in downtown Vancouver dedicated to indigenous art. But in case anyone missed it...
•
It was founded in honour of Bill Reid, one of the most notable local artists. He is known for his jewelry, sculptures, and paintings. You've probably seen at the airport his giant jade canoe with shaman, bears, eagle and others.
•
The museum has a gorgeous collection of gold and silver jewelry with traditional indigenous patterns and shapes. Orca earrings, a raven brooch, and a necklace of gold frogs. In the middle of the hall stands a life-size wooden totem pole carved by a sculptor from the Haida Gwaii. Exhibitions of contemporary Indigenous artists are often held here. A wonderful gift store
•
Free admission from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. every first Friday of the month. Also, if you have recently obtained citizenship (Canoo pass) or are an SFU Student.
