Explore the Museum at Chilliwack's former City Hall, today a National Historic Site. Inside, temporary exhibits explore modern issues in a historic light, while permanent exhibits highlight the meeting of aboriginal peoples and early settlers at the time of the 1858 gold rush. In our community gallery, share your experiences of Chilliwack as we look back to our rural roots. Finally, refresh and be inspired by a visit to our second floor Chamber’s Gallery, offering a variety of changing contemporary art exhibits.

Kids can get up close and personal with exhibits in the Discovery Cupboard, a new and engaging learning experience where artifacts can be touched.
