View and learn about beautiful repatriated ceremonial masks and other First Nation art and cultural treasures. Cute small gift shop. At the moment, they seem to have long-weekend-like hours so call a day or two in advance to make sure they are open. Very worth a visit!

A very nice museum!
We were lucky to be allowed inside and see the potlash masks, but we were told that the museum is closed at least until June 2018. Check before travelling there.

This is a very unique First Nation Museum full of repatriated Potlach items returned from the National Museum in Ottawa" it is wonderful to see these items returned to their rightful owners, and to seem them lovingly displayed and shared with the public. The rxplaination of the items bring the materials to life. This isatruly wonderful experience and it feels good to see a First Nations community managing their own resources in such a positive manner.congratulations!

Cultural history is alive and well on Quadra Island as evidenced by this attraction bursting with historical displays, totem poles and knowledgeable staff. The small gift shop is well organized and has a good selection. The only thing lacking, I would say, is the lighting in the display cases, which if improved, would enhance the overall experience. A definite must do if you have cultural interests and are visiting Quadra Island.

Stopped at the museum while spending time on Quadra, and on the recommendation of a friend from Qualicum Bay. Beautiful building with a wonderful collection of masks and art that have been recovered. Staff very helpful and accommodating. Wonderful glimpse into the world and culture of some of the amazing First People of the area.
