    A free museum in the Anvil Centre, if you're already here to see the New Media Gallery or the…read moreCanadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame, check it out. The exhibits include memorabilia, artifacts, newspaper reprints and even a 1926 Ford Model T and a New Westminster Police motorcycle. Interesting history of a part of the world that is new to me so it was interesting to learn a microcosm of Canadian history here as New Westminster grew from before its earliest settlement to the city it is today. Of course, no Canadian museum is complete without an acknowledgement of the impact of colonialism and New Westminster's exhibits include statements and context that recognize it. There is a display of First Peoples artifacts and history. [Review 20889 overall - 65 in British Columbia - 1873 of 2023.]

    I've been to the New Westminster Museum and Archives a couple of times -- I only found out about it…read morewhen I went to New Media Gallery last year. It's located in the Anvil Centre, right beside the gallery, and like the gallery, it's free. The museum displays artifacts pertaining to the history of New Westminster, and currently, there is a neat exhibit of the city of New Westminster made entirely out of Lego. The exhibit is called "People Gotta Move", focusing on transportation, complete with a Lego skytrain. Be sure to catch the exhibit before it ends on November 16, 2018.
