Great little museum, and not busy today, so we had the place to ourselves.
The museum is small and a bit disjointed. The main building's first floor is fossils (some local, some not, some casts). The second is cultural history - some information on First Nations, some on the British royal family, and some on Ukrainian settlers. A separate building housed technological items such as morse code generators, telephones, and radios. Still, it's obviously well-cared for and admission was by donation.
Admission by donation. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable workers. Lots to see. They had a garage exhibit of electronics as well as two floors at the museum, gift shop stocked with locally made crafts and a little theatre that played 2-3 minute movies about the area. There was a quaint garden and a locally made totem pole. Located at the top floor were artifacts from a heritage school, historic pictures of the area and artifacts from the area. A good little museum if you want to keep busy in the area. About a 10-15 minute walk into the town.
Plan to visit this museum when in Qualicum Beach! While small, it has a diverse range of very exciting history on display. From paleontology and fossils, to social history and culture ... step back in time. If you enjoy Royal memorabilia, you will find a nice collection to browse. Admission by donation - $5 a person is average. Please support the local artists in the gift shop - artists and museum need our support!
Great staff. Lots of fabulous local artifacts. Displays are really well done with a good mix of artifacts that are 'touchable' or behind glass.
