museum of northern british columbia印象
-
take one of the guided tours as you get a lot more information than you do on a self guided tour, especially on First Nation Peoples history.
-
Very impressive museum for the size of the community. Lots of history, plus some great art pieces. Its a very nice facility.

This was museum was a good deal at $6.00 as there was also a guided tour available for 4 or more. The young man doing the tour was from the local tribe and very knowledgeable as to the artifacts and history of his people. I learned many things I didn't know before. If you can take the tour.

We spent several hours here learning about the native history of the area. The museum is housed in a stunning building with windows providing a view to the fishing harbor below. All of the exhibits are extremely well done. This museum is a must visit while in Prince Rupert.

The museum is situated in a beautiful building which resemble a longhouse from the inside. There is a room in the back of the museum which has magnificent views of the Skeena River, local mountains, and the marina and cruise ship dock. Displays are well lit, usually at a pretty good height to be seen, and usually have unobstructed views. However, there were occasions where some objects are displayed and there is no explanation about the object. One was a big boat suspended from the ceiling in the first room you enter. There are several totem poles in the museum, and nothing is documented about them either. In many of the display cases in the first room, I did not know which First Nation group the case or artifact pertained to. These omissions took away from the overall experience,The museum did provide many interesting First Nation artifacts related to tools, basketry, and clothing. First Nation material composes about 75% of what you see. Most of the remaining 25% relates to history of the region. It covers trade (both before European contact and after European contact), the history of the Grand Trunk Railway and early years of Prince Rupert, and the history of commercial fishing and fish processing in the region.I found much of what I saw interesting. There was a room in the back that had a tv to show some related videos. It had a sign on it that said that they hope to fix it as soon as possible. Hope it doesn't sit like that forever, because some of the videos looked like they would have been quite interesting.Overall, the museum is definitely worth visiting. I would feel most people should be able to see this museum in about 2 hours. You can definitely spend more time if you take your time and read things. The $6 admission charge is very reasonable. If they address some of the improvements I made reference to, this could really be a great place to visit.

The Museum is designed as a long house and is well organized to reveal the history of the area, the pattern of local settlement and activity, and to display a marvellous collection of First Nations artifacts, including some fine contemporary masks, weaving and carvings. Well worth a visit, especially if you can get a guided tour.

Very well done small/medium museum providing interesting information about the history of the area. Just the right size and amount of information to be manageable. Small, beautiful and diverse collection of First Nations artifacts. Pretty setting on the waterfront.
-
The artefacts were brought to life by our guide as we toured the stunning cedar structure.....well worth a visit.

Went to the Museum of Northern British Columbia, which has artefacts from the First Nations along with information on how the local area was settled, and more recent pieces and information related to the development of Prince Rupert and the Canadian Pacific Railway. An educational way to spend an hour or two.
