★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A quick glimpse of the past with a great mix from Chinese to loads of fascinating Haida items (the real attraction imo). Worth the time to visit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I spent over an hour looking at the exhibits. Pictures are allowed but no flash. $8 to get in. There's a nice gift shop as well. 4 stars because I paid full price but didn't have access to the gallery (renovations).

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a very nice museum showcasing the history and culture of the people, both past and present, who reside in this Northwestern side of Canada. Before the Europeans arrived here with their railways and steamships to harness the natural resources, it was largely the First Nations Peoples who inhabited this region. As a result much of their art forms and traditional crafts have been displayed. There is a curio and bookshop as well.
The museum is open on all days from 9 am to 5 pm in the summers. There is a token entry fee.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very nice museum that represents the history of the town, staff are wonderful, I would recommend spending about an hour and a half if you like to read otherwise if your just looking at exhibit you can wonder through pretty quickly.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This museum is beautiful, and has so many treasures in it. I really loved all the masks. I would have liked to know the dates on more of the pieces but I get that that's not always possible. Thanks for a great visit!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really great just follow their directions on the front door about texting to let you in. It's closed otherwise. Beauty of it is, once you get in, it isn't crowded. Bought a nice tuque and card at gift shop. Contrast railway myseum with awesomely chatty person! The attendant in here seemed a little unfriendly but no big deal. Still gets full stars. Building fits the art. Go and you will be delighted.
