Interesting that his immediate family is largely catholic, but yeah, many people see buddhism as a way of life, especially so when seeing the calming effects of having a buddha statue sitting in garden.

Note that Oei is also the owner of Plaza of Nations. I wonder if the new museum will be located there.

I like what he said regarding this museum:

“I feel that it’s time to talk, to engage the public about how we think we could contribute to Vancouver and B.C. society,” he said. “I’ve found that, if you don’t engage, people don’t understand.

“This is a non-commercial endeavour. If we get to build, we’re not looking to measure the museum’s success by ticket sales or revenue. We are approaching it from the perspective of a public service — the most important thing is that people enjoy it.”
