Just Announced! Cornelia Hahn Oberlander: Film Screening and Q & A

Sunday, May 15, 2011 3:00 - 4:30 pm (Seating limited; come early!)



Cornelia Hahn Oberlander, OC is a renowned Vancouver-based landscape architect. During her career she has contributed to the designs of many high-profile buildings in both Canada and the US, including the Robson Square/Provincial Government Courthouse Complex in Vancouver, the National Gallery of Canada, the Canadian Chancery in Washington, DC, the Vancouver Public Library, the NWT Legislative Assembly Building in Yellowknife and, of course, the Museum of Anthropology at UBC. As part of the Washington-based Cultural Landscape Foundation Oral History Project, a new film has been made about Cornelia's amazing career, which MOA is delighted to premiere on Sunday, May 15. Charles Birnbaum, President of the TCLF, will introduce a specially edited 30-minute segment of the film. The presentation will be followed by Q & A between Charles and Cornelia - on the site of one of her most significant landscapes.



Please join us for this unique screening and talk with one of Canada's most treasured landscape architects. Free with regular Museum Admission ($14/$12). MOA members and UBC staff, students, and faculty always free.
