The Whistler Museum was founded in 1986 as a non-profit organization for the purpose of collecting, cataloguing & conserving artifacts & photographs of the pioneer history of the Whistler Valley. The Museum has since expanded to include information on the resort development and natural history of the entire Whistler region. Our most recent exhibit features Whistler's journey to the 2010 Winter Games, complete with an Olympic Torch to hold and the infamous "Smurf" volunteer uniform to try on.
