A wonderful museum with great information for visitors to Gabriola Island. Also plenty of educational matter for people like me who know little about water tables, rock, glaciation, and trees.

Surprising petroglyph reproductions in the parking lot. Ancient aboriginal tools and a cool little gift shop. We found the person at the desk to be very friendly and informative. By donation and we picked up a neat foraging guide from the large collection of guides as well. Definitely worth a visit. Plan on 30 minutes.
Quite small but well done.... We really liked the native plant walk outside... You get the map inside.
This museum takes the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action seriously and is working on implementing them. They have updated the display, which now includes much more information and oral history on the Snuneymuxw, the original caretakers of the land. It's a big 180 from my last visit, where I was confronted by a horribly bigoted volunteer who was formerly an Indian Affairs employee and carried his prejudice into the work he did with the museum.
This is an interesting museum with First Nations petrogylphs outside, a pair of foghorns, and inside there is a section devoted to the hippies of the 1970's.
