We have a beautiful beaded earring that someone dropped in the museum yesterday. It is at the front desk if the owner would like to collect it.

We are in the final week of Sherry Nielsen's gorgeous art exhibition, Essential Oils. It has been wonderful to have these striking oil paintings adorn the Upstairs Gallery walls; the depth and richness of their presentation brings the beauty of the Skeena region alive. The Museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday, and noon to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. @nielsengalleryterrace
