It is nice to be encouraged to use the artifacts. It help to make sense of them and appreciate the Haida culture.Tour guide very knowledgeable.

You must visit this Heritage Center! What an amazing experience - although the day was rainy - which resulted in us forgoing the outside tours - we had plenty of time to admire the displays. Some of the displays that included a description /verbal recording (via old style phone) were out of service - so that was disappointing - but other than that - I was a beautiful experience.

No visit to beautiful Haida Gwaii area would be complete without a visit to this amazing museum/art gallery and cultural centre. Situated a short drive from Queen Charlotte, the Centre not only shows the long and fascinating history of the Haida people plus a lot of information about their customs and traditions and their commitment to their land. You don't just visit this place; you become immersed in it and you come away a better informed person. By the way, plan your visit to be there at lunchtime. The Kay Bistro serves wonderful meals, many of which are created from local produce from land and sea. The fact that all the Centre staff plus the local Parks Canada employees all go there every day tells you something about how good it is! An unforgettable place.

Definitely visit this place if you're visiting Haida Gwaii! Excellent exhibition space, daily tours and a great place to eat.

The centre provides an excellent history of the Haida people and of Haida Gwaii. There are always a lot of Haida people there who were friendly and welcoming. The cafe's food was excellent and offered spectacular views. The gift shop had authentic and unusual items at very reasonable prices.

The Heritage Centre is designed to face the ocean as a Haida Village would have done and has totem poles and a fine canoe outside as well as a carving shed. The collection inside deserves careful exploration. It is well laid out and includes drawers of material that can be opened and examined in addition to the more obvious displays. We were privileged to see a special temporary presentation of clothing and hats which, on its own, was worth the price of admission. We also had lunch in the centre -- a cafe with an imaginative menu of freshly prepared soups and other dishes.

This is a place to visit with your mind and your heart. The exibits are gripping in their forms, conveying millenia of skillful arts and crafts.I visited this modern centre that was enveloped by mist and clouds adding to the mystical aura of the west coast.Take your time and admire this impressive cultural gem.

I had a wonderful time at this museum. I actually went back for a second day, because there is so much to do there, The building and grounds are attractive and the setting on the ocean is impressive, There are many spots where you can see the ocean, watch people swim in a cove-like area,There was an exhibit there when I went which I heard is temporary. It was amazing and contained many incredible pieces. I hope the museum can be as good when this exhibition leaves. The permanent collection in the second room is very good as is the room with the video, timeline, and interactive station. The natural history section of the museum had some good exhibits as well.There were 2 tours when I was there, One was about totem poles and the other was about weaving. They were both informative and enjoyable,In addition, the staff is very helpful and professional. They seem very proud and passionate about the museum, The bistro on site is incredible. The gift shop had many books that I may have gotten if I had not been concerned about having to travel with it.I do have some suggestions. (1) Don't neglect the natural history part of the museum, There are parts of it that seemed neglected.. (2) Utilize the room that has elevated seating around an open space. Get dancers or some other type of entertainment. (3) Provide a shuttle to take people out to the shed where the totem poles are worked on. (4) Make better use of the predominantly unused side of the museum. (5) Provide stools so people don't kill their backs looking in drawers.People, visit this museum, You'll love it.

Although the building itself is a show piece, the contents lack in appropriate information and display. I was expecting to be wowed when I stepped inside but this didn’t happen. Instead I got a sense that there was some whining going on here about all the injustices towards the Haida, especially evident in the video they showed. A lot of wasted space with the displays scattered about. The most informative part was in the oldest part of the building and featured an interesting display of the natural history of the area, although somewhat neglected and unkept. Most of the art displayed at the Center is by the very best and most famous Haida artists, including Bill Reid, Robert Davidson and Charles Edenshaw to name a few. These treasures include totems and other carvings, exquisitely carved to the highest degree of perfection. These are indeed impressive and I was expecting to see more for sale at the gift shop. Another disappointment. However, if you want to see impressive Haida art for sale, take a short drive to the gallery of carver Ben Davidson called All About U Arts. In addition to art, the staff at this gallery is very knowledgeable in Haida history and adept at story telling. Really worth the stop! And finally, there is a cafeteria at the Centre which we didn’t try but the menu looked interesting. We thought the entrance fee of $16 per person was a bit steep for what was there.
