Museum is beautiful! The staff was so lovely on free first Fridays and I really enjoyed the exhibits. Lovely dioramas and as a Cherokee person, I really enjoyed getting to know the Lummi.

Always a great place to learn new things from the history of Bellingham. Birds from the region ( permanent collection) from Hummingbirds to Eagles,Owls, Marine species and more all perfectly preserved by taxidermist to document the species for their studies.Their photo archive containing more than 150,000 photographs of Bellingham,Fairhaven, Sehome and New Whatcom and the county ( Whatcom County) full of fascinating glass plates negative's collection of Darius Kinsey and Huntoon ( photographers of the late 1800's all the way to collection of photo journalist of the oldest newspaper The Bellingham Herald's Jack Carver collection of images and the previous photographers mentioned above just amazing, the more you dig in history the more you want to continue. Art exhibits rotating and lectures of Outstanding people like Jane Goodall and local natives history of the Pacific Northwest tribes art , culture and some even documented with photographs from the Darius Kinsey, Huntoon collection and other photographers alike. Highly recommended for 12.00 a ticket entrance near to nothing for a museum of that kind. The Children's Museum is only a block away and the Wall of Light and Eco building is an icon of modern and green roofs as an environment education. Also exhibits the beautiful art , masks, totems canoes and other pieces of local native tribes such as Nooksack and Lummi nations….never ending history for you in a set of three buildings.

This place is very fascinating. My family and I went to the FIG and The Lightcatcher museum too. Reasonable ticket prices that allow you to go to all three museums. 100% recommended visiting here! You will learn a ton.
