Članak je rezultat suradnje uspostavljene između EMS-a i sveučilišnog Antropološkog muzeja u Vancouveru, te četveromjesečnog neposrednog upoznavanja autorice s mnogobrojnim vidovima djelovanja tog kanadskog muzeja. Ono što ga izdvaja od velike većine muzejskih ustanova, njegov je "otvoreni depo", putem kojega je gotovo cjelokupni fundus dostupan ne samo stručnjacima, znanstvenicima i studentima, već i svakom običnom posjetitelju. Stručno osoblje Muzeja sudjeluje u širokoj muzeološkoj izobrazbi studenata i intenzivno surađuje sa zajednicama od kojih su zbirke potekle. Na izuzetnoj susretljivosti i nesebičnosti u prenošenju znanja i iskustva, i ovom se prigodom osobito zahvaljujem dr. Elizabeth L. Johnson, kustosici i predavačici Antropološkog muzeja Sveučilišta Britanske Kolumbije. The University of British Columbia Museum of Anthropology is Canada's largest teaching museum and one of its most popular public museums. Its collections include both archeological material and ethnographic objects from around the world, but it is best known for its collections from the aboriginal peoples of coastal British Columbia. Through exhibitions, public programs and education, it encourages use of the collections to foster understanding of and respect for First Nations and other cultures represented there. Since the opening of a new Museum building in 1976, MOA has been experimenting with a form of visible storage - a combined storage and display technique intended to provide the public with greater visual and intellectual access to collections. Through a special four-month internship at the Museum of Anthropology, the author of this paper was able to learn of all the numerous aspects of MOA's operations. On this occasion the author expresses gratitude particularly to Ms. Elizabeth L. Johnson, a curator and lecturer at UBC MOA, for generously sharing her professional knowledge and experience.
