Haida Gwaii Museum

Extremely informative & beautiful museum full of history & striking art.

This was our first stop in Haida Gwaii so that we could better understand the history and culture prior to visiting the towns. The museum was beautifully laid out, and so informative. We particularly loved the timeline on the wall, and the documentary playing on the 1969 pole raising. The collaborative art piece by students on the residential schools was incredibly powerful and moving. I think this is a stop that everyone should have on their list if they visit Haida Gwaii.

Haida Museum is great! If you want to know more about Haida and its great culture, you have to come to this place.

Awesome place to learn about Haida people and their culture. The tour guide was so knowledgeable and showed us around all the totem poles describing their history. There's a store and an amazing cafe in there too for those wanting to quench their shopping and stomach hungers.

This is a great museum. Make sure you go on the totem walk. Our guide went above and beyond telling us about the stories behind the poles. She shared first hand stories about the Haida people.

Very well presented, and the guides are enthusiastic and knowledgeable.

We had a great visit at the museum, some interesting history coupled with Haida art and artifacts

This was our first stop after we got off our plane. The museum is beautiful! They have a whole section of items that were given back to the Haida through the reparations. It was chilling how much they got back, yet how little in the same breathe. The views from the museum are beautiful. They are located in a sheltered bay with an island in front. They have an amazing section with a canoe that you are able to go see and take pictures of. The gift store also has a great selection of local items. I would highly recommend this as a point of interest to anyone on the island. Just remember to be respectful, and that the Haida culture is not static, it is evolving, so check your exceptions accordingly.

The absolute best place in the world with awesome staff the people at the Museum are the BEST

Very beautiful museum. Very informative and interesting.
