Nanaimo Museum Admission by Donation

Admission to the museum and activities during Culture Days is by donation! The Nanaimo Museum, in beautiful and historic downtown Nanaimo on Snuneymuxw territory is excited to welcome you back this Fall. Come and explore our feature exhibit: "From the Vault" which features a selection of rarely seen artifacts and photos from the museum collection, chosen by members of the Nanaimo Museum team. Bring the family and embark on a hunt throughout the exhibit to decode clues, break the ciphers and solve a mystery. After October 4th the museum will also be decorated for Halloween and guests can enjoy some spooky tales from our past. Don't forget to check out the historical walking tour app "On This Spot" for more Nanaimo history (@on.this.spot).
