Prince Rupert - Museum of Northern British Columbia

The Museum of Northern British Columbia is devoted primarily to the Indian culture of the Pacific coast. Outside of the building is a brakeman's cabin of 1917, a former Skeena fishing boat; native carvers can be watched at work in the adjoining carving shed.

The Museum of Northern British Columbia is housed in a post and beam structure and provides a comprehensive overview of the history of Prince Rupert and Northern BC, going back 5,000 years. Visitors will learn about the Tsimshian settlements, the fur traders, and the founding of Prince Rupert. The museum has a large collection of artifacts which are well laid out. This is probably the most interesting attraction in Prince Rupert.
