 I had the fortune of visiting the newly opened Bill Reid Gallery on Hornby Street the other night.  (Its in the building that once housed the Canadian Craft Museum, next to Hy's Restaurant...its a bit tricky to find as it is located just up the stairs from the street ).  Anyhow, I was really impressed with the incredible collection they had- prints, jewellery, boxes, huge carvings - I mean he did it all!  I was also very impressed with what I learned about Bill Reid, the man, and about Haida culture in general.  Its definitely worth checking out, especially if you are interested in First Nations art or the Haida culture, or if you are planning a trip to the Queen Charlotte Islands/Haida Gwaii.
