Objects Showcase
Today, we take pride in being one of the top NWT cultural tourism destinations. Visitors come from our 33 communities and from many countries worldwide. Our one millionth visitor arrived in April 2012, a major milestone in our history.
Strong and healthy communities have traditions and vibrant cultures – a collective memory that celebrates who we are. The Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre helps to preserve these memories for all our communities.
We take pride in showcasing interesting objects and artifacts in our collections. In addition to creating our own, we also coordinate exhibits by NWT residents and host national travelling exhibitions. From 2006 – 2012, we helped coordinate nearly 100 exhibits.
Each year over 2,500 students and teachers participate in school programs offered by the PWNHC. Other outreach and public programs include cultural camps, Amazing Family Sundays, evening presentations, and special events such as the NWT Heritage Fair.
The treasures at the Northern Heritage Centre are a significant source for scholars, educators, students, history buffs, and academics. They also provide the people of the Northwest Territories valuable context for understanding who they are today and who they will be in the future.
