Play: Arts and Culture
PLAY | FAMILY FUN | ARTS + CULTURE | SUMMER SENSATIONS | CELEBRATE WINTER
Prince George's museums & galleries celebrate our pioneer past & cultural present.
Virtually everything within a two hour radius of Prince George is drenched in a unique blend of aboriginal, pioneer and industrial history.
The centrepiece of the local art scene is the Two Rivers Art Gallery, that regularly pairs exhibitions of nationally and internationally recognized artists with the work of local and regional painters and sculptors. An on-site gift shop also carries a diverse array of local art that you can carry away with you.
Or take a trip down to the confluence of the Fraser and Nechako Rivers to the Railway & Forestry Museum, where the flavour of wood chips and coal-fired steel greets you as you step through the living pages of the industrial history of the area.
An 8,000 square foot addition, extensive archives, rotating exhibits and plenty of hands-on activities makes The Exploration Place the place to be if you want to experience the past and dream about potential futures.
Prince George is paradise for actors and audiences alike. Theatre North West brings you professional stage productions, while the talented group of amateur thespians at the Prince George Theatre Workshop never fails to entertain.
A still-operational First Nations burial ground sits in the middle of the city's largest park. North of town is the Huble Homestead, a fully-restored turn-of-the-century trading post on the banks of the Fraser River.
Music from around the world finds a home in Prince George. The Prince George Symphony Orchestra offers the best live classical music north of Vancouver.
Further afield, you can discover Fort St. James National Historic Park. And two hours southeast is the gold rush town of Barkerville, perhaps the most famous historical site in the Central Interior of British Columbia.
What is the Golden Raven?
In northern BC, our cultural experiences are a varied as our natural beauty. Rich in a past that stretches from the era of the dinosaur to the construction of the railway, we are a region built by adventurous pioneers.
Golden Raven attractions will allow you to connect with the passionate people and colourful history of north central BC. Experience the history - experience the arts - experience the Golden Raven.
