THE ROYAL BRITISH COLUMBIA MUSEUM
THE ROYAL BRITISH COLUMBIA MUSEUM in VICTORIA
British Columbia, Canada
In June 2009 I visited Victoria, British Columbia, on Vancouver Island in Canada. My previous post was about Thunderbird Park, situated next to the Royal British Columbia Museum. I promised that we go into the Museum, so here are a few photos, as well as I am linking you to a album on Flickr: The Royal British Columbia Museum.
These photos are from the section about the Natives of the Pacific Northwest
See many more photos in my Flickr album

Amazing images. Can not believe I lived in Maine so long and so rarely went to Canada.
Victoria is exceptional - and only a short ferry ride from Seattle. Mind you, you are on the other end of the country. Quebec would be your choice - check out Quebec city. I should post some pics from there also, as well as Montreal. Myself, I lived in Alberta, a short ride to the Rocky Mountains resorts, but a long 1200 km to Victoria.
I live in LA now, so it is not quite that far:)
it's a stretch, but at least you are on the west coast 😉 - if a 20 hr drive is "not quite that far" 😄
