Museum of Northern British Columbia

The Museum of Northern British Columbia is a museum in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada.

The museum is housed in a large cedar wood longhouse where it collects and exhibits the culture and history of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast.[1] It was founded in 1924 and now houses thousands of artifacts, maps, photographs and other material.[2] It also organises archaeological and historical tours such as a visit to the Tsimshian village of Metlakatla.[3]
