Museum of Anthropology
Now listen carefully and answer Questions 11 to 16.
S: Now it’s time for our regular ’Museum of the Week’ spot on the programme, and here’s Tom Brisley to tell us about it. Where is it you’ve been, Tom?
T: Well, I’ve just come back from Vancouver, Sue, and I must say I had a fantastic time. There’s so much to see and do in the city. But if you get a chance to go there, there’s one place you mustn’t miss, and that’s the Museum of Anthropology. It was certainly one of the highlights of my time in Canada. The museum was actually established way back in 1949 and these days it’s one of the most popular in Canada. It’s worth going there just to see the building, in fact, because it’s stunningly modern and dramatic - it’s hard to believe it was built back in 1976. One very good thing is that the museum’s all on one floor, which makes it easily accessible for wheelchairs. Another plus is that it’s in the most beautiful setting, overlooking the sea. And inside, you can see archaeological and ethnographical material from all over the world, although what the museum is best known for is its collection of art and culture from the native people of the Pacific North-West.
Questions 14-16
T: It’s not a large museum, so it’s quite easy to find your way around. When you arrive, you come into the entrance lobby with a small shop on the right, where you can buy guidebooks and some interesting souvenirs. Then, if you walk straight ahead, you’ll go down a sloping ramp until you come to a kind of crossroads with an information desk. It’s worth spending a few minutes there, because the staff are very helpful and you can pick up various useful maps and leaflets. If you turn left at this point, there’s a large ceramics gallery, and if you turn right, you’ll eventually come to the theatre. But instead, keep walking straight ahead in the same direction as the ramp and you’ll find yourself in the museum’s most impressive room, the Great Hall. This was designed to house 30 of the museum’s largest totem poles and it’s absolutely spectacular! The glass walls are fifteen metres high, and the whole design is based on the structure of the native wooden houses.
Now listen and answer Questions 17 to 20.
T: After that, you can enjoy just wandering around the various galleries. Don’t miss the Rotunda, which is the setting for a beautiful modern sculpture called ’The Raven and the First Men’. It’s carved from a huge block of cedar wood and it took five people over three years to complete. One of the best things about the museum, by the way, is that nothing is hidden away in store rooms. Everything is on show in a fascinating section called ’Visible storage’.
Now, a few practicalities. The museum is situated on the University of British Columbia campus, which is quite a long way out of Vancouver City, so you’ll need to take a bus to get there. Take a number 10 or a number 4 from town and stay on till the end of the line.
Finally, it’s a good idea to check the opening times before you go. If you visit in the winter, remember that the museum is closed on Mondays. During the summer months, it’s open daily. It’s also worth noting that there’s late opening till nine in the evening on Tuesdays, and that’s all year round. If you want more information, the museum has a useful website, which you’ll find on our Factsheet.
S: Many thanks for that, Tom. And that report brings us to the end of the programme. And in next week’s...
