We strive to create dynamic and interactive exhibits that bring the rich history of Kamloops and the Thompson-Nicola Regional District to life. By combining rigorous research with innovative display techniques, we ensure that our collections are accessible, educational, and relevant to diverse audiences. Our commitment to ethical practices and collaboration with local communities guides our efforts to preserve and celebrate our shared heritage.
