Tupananchiskama: Ancient Andean Cosmovision

Tupananchiskama showcases the worldviews of ancient Andean civilizations through a collection of ceramic, textile, bone, and wood works. The exhibition highlights the 'Andean cosmovision,' a spiritual understanding of the universe based on reciprocity and balance. Guests can view historical belongings that embody relationships between humans and sacred forces. The Quechua title translates to 'until life brings us together again,' reflecting an ancestral view of continuity and renewal. Admission is free for Indigenous people and UBC members, or included with adult museum admission.
