Nanaimo Museum
Water bottle refillWashrooms
The Nanaimo Museum traces the city's history from Snuneymuxw First Nation living culture and oral traditions through to the coal-mining era that built the city, housed in a modern facility at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre that opened in 2008. Rotating feature exhibits complement permanent galleries on coal mining, local sports heritage, and the historic Bastion. A non-profit gift shop featuring Indigenous artwork, jewellery, and carvings by local artists makes it a distinctive stop in downtown Nanaimo.
