We have such a wonderful museum in our community! If you haven't taken your friends or relatives to this great museum, then go! There is also a great display of local art in the special display. Take the time to visit - it is well worth it!
So much more than I would have expected! Full sized dioramas of a float home, cabin, hotel, not unlike the RBCM. One of the first logging trucks - so interesting. Great collection of indigenous masks and other artifacts, though interpretation in that area in need of update and expansion. In other areas interpretation concise and digestible. Good use of limited space.
Went to the firing up of the Steam Donkey on labour's day! It was fantastic to see the ole machine working! Excellent restoration! Went into the museum, have to say the Indigenous section has the most wonderful display of art, the mask interactive story is captivating! Such talented artists! The logging and fishery displays are well done soo much to see and learn! Well done!
One of the best museums for local history and artifacts. I found the indigenous displays interesting. I learned much. Definitely a must see and $8 is an amazing price.
What a wonderful museum this is with its array of exhibits pertaining to the locality. There is something for everyone both inside and outside. The First Nations treasures are still used by the local band at special events. Do not miss the Japanese gate across the road by the sea. The interiors of the log cabin and of the Willows Hotel are both excellent.
They built this place hoping the cruise ships would dock here, alas those guys never got the memo, there were 8 people visiting in the 2 hours I was here. Interesting collection of native American artifacts, and a selection of films to watch in a small theatre. If you are interested in learning about the history of the area this is a must see. I had no idea they used massive explosives to blast an island to clear a navigation choke point. Watch the ripple rock video, it's a BLAST, literally. Sad to know Canadians used .50 Calibre Browning Machine Guns to kill orca "whales" dolphins really once upon a time. Equally sad is how racial minorities were treated here in the early 20th and 19th century. The "iron chink" exhibit and the WW2 Japanese internment exhibit shows stark contrast with today's vibrant multiracial population of BC. How wealthy would First Nations tribes be if they owned the leases to all the buildings in Vancouver. Great exhibit on how they "lost it all".
