The Dragon Jars of Southeast Asia: The Julia and Miguel Tecson Collection
|
- December 1991 – April 19, 1992
- Martaban Jars, so named because they were shipped out of the Burmese port of Martaban, were an important trade item in Southeast Asia and the Philippines during the Song and Ming dynasties. Sometimes also known as talking or dragon jars, these huge, hand-built jars functioned as utilitarian and sacred containers, and today provides insights into the considerable skill of early potters.

The Fabric of Our Land: Salish Weaving
|
- November 19, 2017 – April 15, 2018
- CURATOR: Sue Rowley
- For generations Salish peoples have been harvesting the resources of their territories, transforming them into robes of rare beauty and power. Symbols of identity they acted as legal documents and were visible signifiers of the presence of knowledge holders and respected people. Now mostly stored away in museums these masterworks are rarely seen. They have much knowledge to share and many stories to tell. Musqueam asked the Museum to bring these weavings to inspire weavers and share part of this rich legacy with all of us. Salish weavers selected ten blankets from the 1800s to be part of this unique exhibition. Returning from Finland, Scotland, England and the eastern United States this is the first time that these blankets have been seen in Vancouver. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the unique design of Salish blankets up close and to learn the rich history and significance of weaving in this region. The exhibition takes you on a journey through the past two hundred years of Salish weaving from the early 1800s through to today’s vibrant renaissance. Presented by Musqueam, MOA and a community of Salish weavers.

The Mabel Stanley Regalia Collection
|
- March 28, 2014 (Textile Research Room)
- Student exhibition: In 2012, the family of the late Mabel Stanley (1901-1979) donated her collection of ceremonial realia and other First Nations items to MOA, with the understanding that the objects would be accessible to the family, and that MOA would create an exhibition about them. 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.

The Marvellous Real: Art from Mexico, 1926 - 2011
|
- October 25, 2013 - March 30, 2014 (The Audain Gallery)
- . In 1949, the Cuban writer and ethno-musicologist, Alejo Carpentier (1904 – 1980), coined the term the “marvellous real” to describe a particular kind of magic realism that is manifest in the arts and everyday life of Latin America. Eluding the expected through bizarre amalgamations, improbable juxtapositions, and fantastic correlations, the marvellous real is, as Carpentier said, “neither beautiful nor ugly; rather, it is amazing because it is strange.” This exhibition features 55 artworks from Mexico that capture the idea of the marvellous real. Drawn from the FEMSA Collection in Mexico, the exhibition includes works by Dr. Atl, Leonora Carrington, Jean Charlot, Juan O’Gorman, Alice Rahon, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Juan Soriano, and Rufino Tamayo, as well as a younger generation of visual artists like Carlos Amorales, Sandra Cabriada, Claudia Fernández, Adela Goldbard, Yishai Jusidman, Alejandro Santiago and Francisco Toledo. Curated by Dr. Nicola Levell (Assistant Professor, Anthropology, UBC). The exhibition is made possible through the generous support of the FEMSA Collection, the Agencia Mexicana de Cooperación International Para el Desarrollo, the Consulado General de México en Vancouver, the Ollin Mexican Canadian Association for Arts, Culture and Education, and the Fundación Alejo Carpentier.
