Museum of Northern British Columbia

The Museum of Northern British Columbia in Prince Rupert is devoted to the culture and history of the Pacific Northwest Coast. Housed in a large cedar longhouse that reflects Indigenous architectural traditions, it was founded in 1924 and emphasizes the coastal nations of the region, especially the Tsimshian, Haida, Kwakwakaʼwakw, and Tlingit. Its collections include thousands of artifacts, maps, photographs, and other historical materials that present both cultural traditions and the broader history of the northern coast. It also extends its work beyond the galleries through archaeological and historical tours, including visits linked to Tsimshian history such as Metlakatla.
