The Vancouver Island Military Museum bills itself as British Columbia's most significant military museum, housing more than 25 exhibits tracing Canadian military involvement from the War of 1812 through to Afghanistan, including coverage of women in the armed forces and the HMCS Nanaimo. The museum is situated in downtown Nanaimo's waterfront precinct, within walking distance of the Inner Harbour Boat Basin, Port Theatre, and the cruise ship facility — a handy stop for cyclists exploring the harbour area. Admission is by donation-scale fees with free entry for veterans and serving members.
