★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I enjoyed the museum very much, especially the photographs of Nanaimo from the past. The Nanaimo Bar shaped stools were amusing. Would recommend a visit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very educational -but that one dark part in the mines was spooky.
Oooo and there were lots of rocks - pointy ones, and ones attached to string -but it was nice because each rock had a description of why it was there - again very educational.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lovely little museum. Came just for the "Enemy Aliens" exhibit, but stayed for more. Sad part of Canadian history. Friendly staff.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very informative exhibits and lots of great and interesting artifacts. Learned a lot from my time here. It's always fun to have a look back through our history. The feature exhibit was particularly interesting to me.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Nanaimo museum is a must see if you're visiting I really enjoying learning about all the unique traditions like the bathtub racing and the rich history like the mining exhibit that looks like a mine shaft and the staff were really friendly and the gift shop had lots of unique items as well as things from local artists ♡

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Definitely a good place to go especially on the raining day. Really interesting to know the Nanaimo Chinese’s history, in the early years when the mine exploded, all the Chinese labour who died in it , doesn’t even have a name in the history record list. ..Know the history and Know your rights!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was way more interesting than I expected for a small island town's civic museum. Really enjoyed my visit (and learned some new things). Well curated.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very centrally located. You cannot really miss it.
When we showed up, entry-fees were by donation only, so it can be free if you’re on a budget. The recommended donation is also only $2 per person which is probably unheard-of for any kind of exhibit these days.
We enjoyed learning a bit of history before further exploring the rest of Nanaimo. It definitely had some quality / well-maintained exhibits.
I would say this is a must-go for anyone visiting nanaimo for the first time if they have 45-60min to spare. Or even 30min if you want to quickly skim thru.
