My TripAdvisor Review No.489: Museum of Northern British Columbia, Prince Rupert, Canada.

Showcase Of History And Culture Of The Region.


This museum is located at a height overlooking the harbour of Prince Rupert. The exhibits and artefacts are displayed in a traditionally designed Longhouse with a magnificent glass façade and a nicely landscaped compound.

The museum displays many exhibits which are of natural and cultural significance to the citizens of the Northwest Coast of British Columbia both past and present. Many of the exhibits show the art and craft of the First Nations Peoples who inhabited the region before the European settlers arrived, bringing in their railways and steamships to utilise the rich geological natural resources of the region.

There is also a nice curio and bookshop inside the premises as well as a decent washroom. There is an entry fee of $8 and the open timings are from 9 pm to 5 pm, open on all days in the summer.

It is definitely worth a visit as there is a lot of knowledge one can gain about this naturally well endowed region of Canada.
