A leadership gift from the Koerner Foundation of Toronto is assisting the Museum of Anthropology (MOA) in completing its transformation and expansion into one of the most advanced facilities of its kinds in the world. The expansion is increasing the Museum’s size by 50 percent, allowing for more and larger exhibit galleries, research labs, study areas, and public programming spaces. A unique feature of the renewal project is the Reciprocal Research Network, which will link MOA, BC First Nations communities, and major Canadian and international museums to provide unparalleled access to research collections in North America and Europe. Michael Koerner, the Foundation President, is the son of Walter Koerner, a former Chair of the UBC Board of Governors who donated a large collection of Northwest Coast First Nations art to MOA.
