My husband and I were both surprised at the sense of calm and tranquility, in the heart of the city, when we entered the outdoor space. There is a lovely grass courtyard with arches and columns all around. The building itself is unusual in a good way and the art pieces on exhibit are definitely worth seeing and displayed well....

Raining and cold in Vancouver so we decided to check out Bill Reid Gallery - boy, am-I happy we did. The displays were insightful and thorough. I was able to learn and gain a new appreciation for Aboriginal art as well as the humour, resiliency and vision of the First Nations of Canada. The exhibits were accessible and the reading... More

I wasn't that familiar with Northwest Coast Art before this exhibition, so this was a good overview of what it's all about.

I am biased for I am the chair of the gallery. It is a warm and inviting space with pieces from numerous Pacific Northwest Coast artists, including Bill Reid and Jim Hart. A pleasant one to two hours visiting the gallery won't be wasted.

The exhibitions here can be outstanding, especially ones that celebrate contemporary native artists. No lack of imagination here. Reid's work is consistent and celebrates the simple... More

Small museum with very little to offer when taking into consideration the important mission it wishes to present. There is so much more to present, tell, and exhibit.... And the place seems like one big unprofessional miss. One thing I did like about it were the pictures of elders and some quotes about their language conservation efforts... Some first nations'...

Bill Reid's work, no matter what one thinks of the man and his practices, deserves much better than this. Compared to the UBC Museum of Anthropology, it looks like a second hand store in Hazelton. Quite unprofessional.
