North Coast Taxidermy is a neat place, great for anyone interested in wildlife. It is considered a Wildlife Museum and is home to many displays of wild animals in natural poses. The animals are all prepared on site, and are picture perfect works. They have a variety of animals in the museum, from tigers to wolverines to boars, all interesting sights. Many of the displays are in the act of feeding, or being territorial, making them appear ferocious. The displays give you a glimpse of animals lives as they occur in the wild. The studio downstairs is where all the magic takes place, stuffing, tanning and bleaching animal skins and skulls to create works of art that mimic the natural world inside the safety of a house. While in the area I encourage you to check out the wildlife museum, located in Cablecar just outside of Kitimat.

Our local museum is another 'must stop' destination. Located in the lower City Centre, the museum is the place to trace the modern and pre-industrial history of Kitimat and the Kitimat Valley.
The museum has exhibits presenting our interesting history from a number of different perspectives. They depict the way of life of the early settlers and the turn of the Century pioneers. They also display a fascinating glimpse of the culture and history of the earliest residents - the Haisla First Nations of the Kitamaat Village.
