Museum of Anthropology Day one in Vancouver and we decided to hit the famous museum, banking on it being much emptier that the coming weekend. We were super lucky to arrive in time for a guides tour around the main exhibition of totem poles of the local indigenous propel. It was fascinating. They also had a strong section on carvings and masks from around the world. Photos to follow. LZ
