Museums in Kamloops

Spend a relaxing afternoon at one of our incredible and unique museums. Kamloops is rich in history right from the days when glaciers covered this whole region, the affairs between the wild west cowboys and First Nations people, European settlement, and industrial development.
Kamloops Museum and Archives
Three floors of permanent and traveling exhibits created by museum professionals make this museum one of the best cultural attractions in Kamloops. Come with a group for a guided tour or explore yourself and see what Kamloops is all about. You’ll find clothing, communication equipment, industrial and agricultural artifacts, fur trading and gold rush, and First nations information. You’ll also see a fabulous geology display and Kamloops’ very first automobile. There are lots of hands-on opportunities for children and families, too.
