Canada’s 7 Coolest Museums

Royal British Columbia Museum (Victoria, British Columbia)

It is known as one of the world’s top regional museums, one of Canada’s most visited, and located on the picturesque Inner Harbor in Victoria. Three permanent galleries trace the natural and human history of British Columbia and include life-sized mammoths, live tidal pools, and replica streets, and shops. The First Peoples Gallery is especially impressive with its ceremonial masks, totem poles, and full-sized log house recreation. Visitors here can even watch as native carvers work on new totem poles in a longhouse located just behind the museum.
