Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre
A top-notch introduction to the NWT is at Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre, off 48th St overlooking Frame Lake. Here, displays address natural history, European exploration, Northern aviation and, especially, Dene and Inuit ways. Particularly cool is the 30ft-long moosehide boat.

Legislative Assembly
In 1993 the NWT government coughed up around C$25 million to build the impressive, igloo-shaped Legislative Assembly, which is off 48th St and near Frame Lake. You can learn about the territory's aboriginal-style government by joining a free hour-long tour. There's also excellent Northern art throughout.
