An excellent museum with lovingly installed themed displays, showing everything from First Nations culture and narratives to fish fabrication. Also includes a historic cinema showing a film on the engineering feat of removal of the Seymore narrows.Definately go there!
Wow - a must see!!!Great to see the different rooms. First Nations, Fishing, Logging and the Tourist Trade.Gift shop was 1000% - really appreciated the effort to produce a hard copy description/history of each piece we bought
I really enjoyed the wide range of well put together displays and artifacts from this area. This museum is one of the best of its kind that I have ever visited. I would highly recommend it to any one who is interested in the local history.
Just driving into the parking lot of the CR Museum is fun and the collection of this area's art and history lives up to expectations.
A great surprise for sure,one of those must do things when out of town company arrives and your looking to show off Campbell River
We have been in the Campbell River Museum a number of times. There are wonderful cultural displays and videos of Ripple Rock blast, and First Nations cultural stories. The art is wonderful and exhibits are definately worth going in to see. The museum also hosts boat wildlife tours, bear and whale watching tours through out the summer months, we have gone on two of these trips and were totally delighted.
This museum displays Campbell River's history very well. It is interactive and tells a lot about Campbell River native culture, traditional fishing, logging. There are three historic films. It is a wonderful place to visit. I take my friends there when they come to visit and enjoy it every time.
A very good museum which lets you experience the past from all perspectives in a way that makes you feel part of history.
When first walking into the museum, you think that there is just a gift store, meeting areas and a fabulous view of the water. Continuing on through to the exhibits was great (which are hidden in the back). The native display of ornamental items and masks was one of the best that I have ever seen along with the theatre in which is was located. Continuing through - it showed the diversity of the area, logging, fishing, mining. A mini theatre and the old Willows Hotel lobby was great Exhibits were so well done!! I am looking forward to a return visit!
A wonderful museum. Extremely high quality artifacts, especially the First Nations materials. Gives excellent insight into the origins of Campbell River as a logging and fishing town. Good movies in the film room.
