Bone Box (2007) by Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, Museum of Anthropology, Vancouver, B.C.
Bone Box is an art installation on permanent display in the Great Hall of the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia. The interactive installation, created in 2007, is a combination of 12 square pieces of plywood suspended with a mechanism that allows them to pivot in tandem. Together, they tell a story of Haida culture.
When rotated, the panels reveal the words, “A Stack of Plywood Trays Built to Contain Fragments of Everyone’s Culture.”
