Nanaimo District Museum, situated on the waterfront in the heart of downtown, brings history to life with its depictions of early coastal living on Vancouver Island, from European, Chinese and First Nations' perspectives. Visitors can explore the new coal mining exhibit, learn about native life through personal reflections, hands-on exhibits and audio-visual presentations, or stroll the re-created streets of both early Nanaimo and Chinatown.
