The Nelson Museum, Archives & Gallery

Art Galleries / Museums (Public)

Description

The Nelson Museum, Archives & Gallery is in beautiful, historic Nelson, British Columbia in the BC Interior. Since 1955, the Nelson Museum has served as a cultural and educational hub, an award-winning art gallery, and caretakers of the region’s rich history. The mandate of the Nelson and District Museum, Archives, Art Gallery, and Historical Society is to run a sustainable, integrated organization that actively promotes, through exhibitions and programming, the knowledge, appreciation and understanding of history and art. Museums and archives are tied to a history of colonial and discriminatory methodologies that overlook the voices of many people. The Nelson Museum, Archives & Gallery is joining the global movement to recognize, respond to, and create space for, the voices that are missing from our region’s story.
