Lonely Planet review

The small but fascinating Whistler Museum & Archives details the region's history and development, from its days as a pioneer outpost to its 1970s emergence as a ski resort. The diverse and eclectic exhibits include a rare collection of stuffed BC birds, an assortment of ski gear and equipment through the ages and an archive of documents and artifacts relating to the six bids Whistler has made to host the Olympic Games.

With the region now sharing in Vancouver's successful bid for the upcoming games, the museum is in a good position to record the 2010 event from scratch, which might explain why the trustees have been searching for larger premises in recent years.
