Nanaimo Museum

Not a very big collection, but very well presented. And new ideas to encourage visitors.

It's fruitful and fun. Enjoy the docent commentary. There is a limit due to Pandemics, but friendly staff will help you if you ask for various experiences. Look for the white dog!

Friendly staff, nice collection about Nanaimo's history.

We had a good time to look around here. Thanks

This museum was bigger on the inside than how it looked on the outside. I had never been in it before and assumed it would just be another tiny museum with a bunch of first nations artifacts, which are still cool. But in a museum I like seeing a variety of displays and this museum had just that. I paid a toonie to get in, loved the displays including a coal mine replica you can walk through. The staff is super friendly and welcome you right in. The day I went the nanaimo Clippers were there for a meet and greet. I got autographs and coloured with them. They interacted with everyone. People could get their pictures taken with them while wearing hockey gear. Free popcorn was given. And a wheel is spun to win swag. I had the best day not just because of seeing my favorite junior hockey team, but because of the hospitality of the museum staff and excellent display areas.
