Nice display of exhibits. I would prefer a little more description, but still worth the $8 entry fee.

Absolutely and beautifully curated museum. Great info about the history and the original people of the area. Very educational, informative and a great collection of artifacts. A must visit if you’re in Rupert.

This is a very nice museum showcasing the history and culture of the people, both past and present, who reside in this Northwestern side of Canada. Before the Europeans arrived here with their railways and steamships to harness the natural resources, it was largely the First Nations Peoples who inhabited this region. As a result much of their art forms and traditional crafts have been displayed. There is a curio and bookshop as well.The museum is open on all days from 9 am to 5 pm in the summers. There is a token entry fee.

Really great just follow their directions on the front door about texting to let you in. It's closed otherwise. Beauty of it is, once you get in, it isn't crowded. Bought a nice tuque and card at gift shop. Contrast railway myseum with awesomely chatty person! The attendant in here seemed a little unfriendly but no big deal. Still gets full stars. Building fits the art. Go and you will be delighted.

The Museum of Northern British Columbia is a wonderful collection of indigenous peoples memorabilia and things from the early history of the area. The museum is self guided and well laid out. We spent about an hour but there is no limit imposed.

I spent over an hour looking at the exhibits. Pictures are allowed but no flash. $8 to get in. There's a nice gift shop as well. 4 stars because I paid full price but didn't have access to the gallery (renovations).

It's a must see in Prince Rupert, $8 for admission and you can return during the day if you still browsing by the time they close 12 pm-1 pm for lunch. Lots of interesting displays of the colourful history of Prince Rupert, the indigenous history to the influence of colonialism, interesting facts like how horizontal totems are rare and older form than the vertical, and Charles Hays, who was a figure in PR railway history, ended up on the illl fated Titanic.
