The Museum of Anthropology reopens to the public

The Museum of Anthropology (MOA) seismic upgrades are complete and the museum reopened to the public last week. The reopening weekend coincided with the museum’s 75th anniversary and events and performances were held to celebrate. Many VPFO staff attended the reopening, and Safety & Risk Services team members were onsite to provide security. 

We encourage you to visit the newly reopened museum and see the great work that was done and explore Canada’s history. Admission is free for staff, students and faculty.
