Note: By appointment Excellent local museum highlighting the New Westminster history and community, as well as specific exhibits such as COVID and lacrosse. Super friendly and helpful staff are highlight of trip.

Small but charming museum inside Anvil Centre. Free admission. Has occasional presentations and special exhibits; consult web site.

Julian Worker

Interesting collection for Canadians.

I wonder where the original Globe Saloon, owned by John Deighton, AKA Gassy Jack, was. Somewhere on Front Street. 150 years ago, this July 4th, that place was ruined, because a friend of John celebrated the Fourth of July at his expense. This was the prequel to the creation of GasTown, and it started somewhere around here.

We loved the Lego exhibit and visited it several times. The Museum was always super clean, the bathrooms were nice and clean as well.

There you can learn some about this town's history.

Nestled like a fine pearl inside an absurdly-shaped clam, this museum is a must if you have children and a spare 7 minutes. We thought we would risk a little visit to try to up our family class level (actually, that’s a lie - there was Lego. Very cool replication of parts of the city). With only the five-year-old and the one-year-old in tow, it was great to look at donated artefacts of the city’s history, with only the sound of one wolverine trying to chew its own foot off to get out of the stroller, and the ever-present request to know what else there is to see. Because our three-year-old was at Grandma’s and Grandpa’s house today, I thought we may actually get out of the museum without one of the motion-activated noise alarms going off from getting too close to the 100-year-old cars. Alas, a respectful, 65-year-old car enthusiast stood too close, and our oldest went tearing over to see what the alarm was, and got a chance to tell on the perpetrator all the same. A perfect 4 out of 5 stars.

What's there to not like about free?

(Translated) Small town, small museum. A place where you can go sightseeing in 2-30 minutes. (Original) 작은 도시, 작은 박물관. 2-30분이면 실컷 구경이 가능한곳.

Don't bother going there. I made a reservation, got a confirmation, paid $5 for parking and discovered that there was no way to get into the building. Everything was locked. Scam!

Alexander Tumanov

This is definitely to visit if you come to New Westminster for a visit. this place is fairly small but still shows some interesting history of the town as well as give some additional information about it. My family enjoyed this trip and stay in this museum.

A small museum, but nonetheless very interesting!! Entry by donation. I was the only person in the museum, so it was nice and quiet. I finished in 1 hour and I read everything. A perfect rainy afternoon activity!

Mary Wong

Visited during the Art Crawl. Big building with nothing interesting inside.

Malvina

Went for a wedding show, it was decent sized

Maniel Leong

I know more about New Westminter history. Definely worth to spent an hour in there.

Michelle O'Neil

Can't even get to the place because of draconian measures being taken. I was going to go and take other people. Now I won't even try. Masks cannot be mandated. A museum should know that human rights cannot be infringed upon in this country.

Matthew Kilpatrick

Cool little place that packs a lot of history into a small space.

Tarina Rissanen

This museum has a variety of artifacts that were all interesting to see!
