http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33380 Bill Reid was an acclaimed Haida master goldsmith, carver, sculptor, writer and spokesman, and one of Canada's greatest artists.
His artwork ranges from exquisite gold and silver jewellery to full sized totem poles and ocean-going canoes carved from massive timbers. These pieces embody his evolving interpretation of his native heritage and how he extended the traditional artistic vocabulary to embrace modern ideas and forms. He played a pivotal role in reviving interest in native art forms among the younger generations of Canada's First Nations, and in presenting those arts to a wider world.
There is a small entrance fee for the museum but it is worth every penny to see such a great collection of Reid's work gathered together under one roof.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33380 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6578 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6578 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6568 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6568 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6427 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6427 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1072 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1072 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6444 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6444
