Beautiful, peaceful and great service.
Wonderful history.
I was REALLY looking forward to this museum, absolutely beautiful building and I want to deepen my understanding of the first nation cultures. It was COVID measures, so the outside longhouse and a couple other exhibits closed. Understandable. The theatre also wasn't working, so missed the movie. And there weren't any guides at the time to ask questions or get more information. Maybe check the status of these before you pay.
The exhibits themselves were beautiful and high quality, but the content felt like high-school social class. Canoe building, garments, importance of nature. All amazing, but it felt like it was fully missing the major societal pieces of the residential schools, colonialism, issues and opportunities that exist today. Maybe the movie covered this?
It was missing details on language as well, I was hoping to walk away being able to say, read or express a few words and expressions.
I don't think I'd recommend a family - everything is very 'do not touch' and fragile. Text heavy and low-interaction displays. I know they are valuable, but being able to sit in a cedar long-canoe or touch a bear pelt would add great sensory value...
So much potential, I hope to be back to see the movie and talk with guides and learn more!
Excellent museum! If you only have time to go to one museum in Whistler - this is the one you should visit! The young people who work at it are so enthusiastic and welcoming and are so proud of their culture that it makes the experience truly special. Despite growing up in the region, I learn something new every time I visit this museum. Make sure you watch the film - it is not very long however it is very informative and gives you a great overview before you visit the exhibits.
E&G enjoyed the building architecture, the knowledgeable persons presenting their culture and the educational film and artifacts. We shared some Tsliamin stories. Recognized RB silver work.
