Interesting exhibits and artifacts about Yukon's history and culture. Definitely larger than I expected. The bus from the airport drops you almost right in front of it - I would recommend anyone visiting Whitehorse to include this museum in their itinerary.
This place is really an excellent tourist spot to learn about Yukon ‘s history and local culture. There are fantastic exhibits of animals, First Nations art, photographs, detailed exhibits of the history of gold rush. Staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. Took us a couple of hours to explore.
An excellent museum about the Yukon and the history of the Yukon with artifacts galore and recreations of a saloon, radio studio, and store. First Nations art is beautifully displayed and there is a whole gallery of stuffed animals which isn't as offputting as you might think. There is also Sam McGee's cabin and the story of the Klondike Gold Rush.
It’s a must do if you are in Whitehorse. Some sections were like stepping into a different time. It’s a small museum, can finish in about 2 hours easily but everything packed a punch and I was fascinated and learned a lot about the amazing Yukon. My trip wouldn’t have been complete without this stop.
I thought this would be a small museum that would take maybe 1-2 hours to get through, but boy was I wrong! I spent almost 3 hours and it still felt rushed towards the end and that was when some of the exhibits were closed due to the winter season. The exhibits are rich and well organized. The "Wild World" gallery was small but fascinating, and as a map and transportation fan, I loved the stage coaches, the Air North Boeing 737 model on the third floor, and the Map Library. The third floor also had two outdoor terraces with fantastic panoramic views over Whitehorse - I love that they were still open during the winter. I also liked how the museum had water fountains on each floor and good elevators. One note of improvement - the First Nations Gallery was a bit dark. Some additional lighting with help with reading the descriptions and seeing the artefacts!
We are lucky to have free entrance to the museum and we are surprised how big it is. There are tons of artifacts and we spend way longer time than we expected. Also the Japanese lady working in front desk is very nice. We came to the museum 20 mins before it’s closed and we are very worried if we don’t have enough time. However the lady said she’ll be wait for us. She is so nice :
Great, well-curated museum! It shows the many faces of the Yukon. Much more available than my pictures demonstrateVisited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Skims the surface of the profound phenomena known collectively as the Yukon. The best part of the museum is the chronological presentation of Ted Harrison's paintings.
A must see point when you are at whitehorse and plan to go north! 5 star museumVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
This museum is fantastic. They have everything Yukon related. Art and history from of the first Nations, Arctic animals, history from the English colonization. They even have some old fur coats that you can try on to see how they dressed.
