Things to do in Prince Rupert

  1. A

    Museum of Northern BC

    Don't miss the Museum of Northern BC , which resides in a building styled after an aboriginal longhouse. The museum shows how local civilizations enjoyed sustainable cultures that lasted for thousands of years – you might say they were ahead of their time. The displays include a wealth of excellent Haida, Gitksan and Tsimshian art and plenty of info on totem poles. Special tours of the museum, walking tours of town and the bookshop are all excellent.

    Ice House Gallery

    A short walk from the center, Cow Bay is a delightful place for a stroll. The eponymous spotted decor is everywhere but somehow avoids seeming clichéd. There are shops, cafés and a good view of the waterfront. See the bounty of Rupert's vibrant creative community at the artist-run Ice House Gallery .
