About

The Qualicum Beach Museum is run by the Qualicum Beach Historical & Museum Society, which was incorporated in 1984. It sits on Beach Road across from the town's E&N railway station, an easy stop on a walk through Qualicum Beach.

The museum shares the history of the Qualicum Beach area, including the story of the Pentlatch people, through collections that follow the community from its earliest days to the present.

The museum also has a paleontology collection, with fossils that tell a much older story of the land and sea around Qualicum Beach. From January to May 2027 it will host an exhibit on Ferrisaurus, a dinosaur discovered in British Columbia.

Hours change with the seasons. In summer the museum is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. In winter it opens Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 1 to 4 pm.

Admission is by donation, with a suggested $5 for adults and $2 for children. Donations help the society care for the collection and keep the doors open for visitors and local families alike.
