Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre

Situated in the capital of the Northwest Territories, the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre (PWNHC) produces exhibitions that tell stories about the land, people, and history of the NWT. However, the PWNHC is "more than a museum". In addition to its exhibits, education, collections, and conservation programs, the PWNHC houses the NWT Archives, provides technical, logistic, and financial support to individuals and organizations involved in cultural activities and the arts, and authorizes archaeological studies in the NWT.

We are from Edmonton, hoping to see aurora in Yellowknife. Yellowknife museum is free and very informative. Lots of information about the history, the animal you can find here, and more. Highly recommended.

Down to Earth Gallery

Reviewed By saskexpl0rer - Saskatchewan, Canada

Walked down to old town and came upon this lovely little shop. Very relaxing atmosphere. If your looking for local artwork they have lots available. They carry locally made bath products as well. Picked up a lovely smelling mint soap bar. Definitely must stop if your in yellowknife.

Aurora Emporium Art Gallery

Reviewed By S7063SSnancyc - Manitoba, Canada

Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff/owners. Not only telling us about the artisans, but also suggested places to see & things to do while we were visiting. Beautiful glow in the dark aurora paintings, mugs, handmade bison wallets, moccasins are a few things you will find here. We went back a few times. Thanks for the advice!
