Grass Basket, Glass Case: Life histories of MOA’s Nuu-chah-nulth baskets
|
- April 6 - September 26, 1993
- By selecting examples from MOA’s collection of over 300 Nuu-chah-nulth baskets and illustrating how they were made, moved into private collections, and acquired by museums, the process by which objects are reinterpreted by both collectors and museum professionals is made visible.

Students in the Museum Practice and Curatorship took up the challenge, working with family and community members, as well as historical records, to examine the multiple ways in which a collection of objects can be seen to represent the life of an individual.
