The Whatcom Museum occupies three distinctive and historically significant buildings in downtown Bellingham’s Arts District. The Lightcatcher building features rotating traveling art exhibitions, a permanent Northwest Coast exhibit, the Family Interactive Gallery, and the Museum Store. The Museum’s 1892 Old City Hall building features maritime and logging history exhibits, as well as the John M. Edson Hall of Birds. The Syre Education Center contains the Photo Archives.
To May 21 There Was a Time: Whimsical Relics & Eclectic Images. Showcasing a diversity of items from the Whatcom Museum’s history collection and photo archives that rarely see the light of day. What these objects tell us about our shared sense of place, the past and ultimately ourselves, is available for public interpretation, and it’s fun!
