Your Event at MOA

[Updated February 28, 2024]

MOA is temporarily closed to accelerate the completion of the Great Hall seismic upgrades, already underway. These upgrades to the Great Hall, and other building improvements, are critical in order to upgrade the resiliency of the Museum and protect its irreplaceable collections in the event of a major earthquake. As a result, we regret MOA will not be able to accommodate any facility rentals at this time.

The MOA Grounds are impacted by the construction. While we expect to accommodate rentals using MOA’s indoor spaces in mid-2024, the Grounds will not be suitable for use again until Summer 2025.

To inquire about rentals in 2024 and beyond, please contact 604.822.4643, rentals@moa.ubc.ca


Consider providing your guests, clients, conference delegates or professional team with an unforgettable evening in one of Canada’s foremost cultural attractions. Spaces at MOA can be rented for weddings or a variety of corporate and community events—all with opportunities for exclusive enjoyment of our galleries and stunning ocean views.

Trained staff are always on hand to provide tours and to offer information about the collections and topics related to First Nations and other cultures. Whether your event is a small corporate workshop or a catered wedding reception, MOA can provide a remarkable venue.

MOA’s spaces are available for rental from 5 to 11 pm on any evening, except Thursdays when we are open late to the public.
