An indigenous art collection valued at about $7 million is being given to UBC’s Museum of Anthropology by an anonymous donor, various media outlets reported.
The collection includes more than 200 pieces and is believed to be the largest collection of northwest coast First Nations art to return to B.C. in decades.
The art will be housed in a Gallery of Northwest Coast masterworks, funded by a $3 million donation from the Doggone Foundation and a $500,000 grant from the Canadian government.
The Canadian Press story appeared in the Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, CBC, Global, CTV, News 1130, and Alaska Highway News.
