UBC’s Museum of Anthropology is now home to a diverse new collection of Northwest Coast art, including early works by Haida artist Bill Reid, thanks to a gift from late Calgary philanthropist Margaret Perkins Hess.
Hess was a longtime art collector who particularly enjoyed collecting and promoting Northwest Coast art. She died Sept. 2, 2016, at the age of 100. Her estate is donating her significant collection of Northwest Coast metalwork, carved masks, weavings, totem poles and other unique items to MOA.
