Art at YVR

Greeting visitors in the Musqueum Welcome Area are Susan A. Point's two towering, 5.5 metre red cedar Ne-Tsul-Nuwh welcome figures. The male and female figures carved out of red cedar, reflect the carving styles of early Coast Salish culture. Figures such as these were originally carved as house posts; at the Vancouver Airport, these 'welcome figures' silently invite travelers to experience British Columbia.

The entire installation in the Musqueum Welcome Area is the work of Coast Salish women artists.
