Currents Vlog Episode 3: A Tour Of The UBC Museum of Anthropology
Vancouver’s UBC Museum of Anthropology got robbed this week (Bloomberg.com). Presumably, the jerks who stole Bill Reid’s gold artwork at least know enough not to melt the stuff down, as the gold will lose probably 90 per cent of its value if it’s made into a lump of cold bullion. To the rich, selfish, obsessed collector who ruined the party for everyone by hiring goons to steal the work of one of Canada’s greatest artists: get bent.
In tribute to the people who work at the museum and the spirit of Bill Reid, I’ve posted the latest Currents video of my own tour of the UBC Museum of Anthropology. No voice-over this time, but please enjoy the scenery.

It’s really a sad day that these works have been plundered.
I can’t identify what happens when in the presence of Reid’s major sculptings but a glowing sense envelops suggesting that the sprits are present and alive.
Outstanding vlog!
Particularly liked the whole idea of doing a Museum of Anthropology visit
I’m glad you liked the video. Larry, I didn’t know you had such a poetic view of the world!
I’d been meaning to do the vlog on the museum for some time. Finally got to it. Meanwhile, I’ve got some family videos that are long overdue for the iMovie treatment. Priorities, priorities…
