A very interesting place to visit
Very sweet little museum, the hostest was very friendly, and William was an absolute pleasure to recieve a tour from.
I Thoroughly Enjoyed This Museum
The materials were donated by locals and the displays were all assembled by local volunteers. You can feel the history here.
There are displays more fully explaining many of the murals with additional materials as background.
When I travel, I always like to go to the local museums, and I am rarely disappointed; each has its own personality. This is one of the best I have seen, thanks.
Museum tells stories, very interesting.
Travel back in time, Now! The Chemainus Museum is beautiful. Newly renovated and full of wonderful displays and history. Probably one of the most fun and informative exhibits is the Barbie showcase. Here the museum has used Barbie to depict the women of town in a variety of fundraising activities. Fun fact. A hairdresser was brought in to do all of the Barbies hair according to the era.
