The highlight of the Arthur Erickson-designed museum, the grand
Great Hall
is a
forest of dozens of towering totem poles plus a menagerie of carved ceremonial figures,
house posts and delicate exhibits - all set against a giant floor-to-ceiling window facing
the waterfront and mountains. Many of the ornate carvings here are surprisingly vi-
brantly colored: look out for some smiling masks as well as a life-sized rowing boat
containing two figures that look ready to head straight out to sea on an adventure. The
Great Hall is everyone's introduction to the museum - it's the first part you stroll into
after paying your admission - and it's also where the hour-long
free tours
depart from
several times a day: these are highly recommended since they provide an excellent
overview of what else there is to see here.
