Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre

Welcome to the Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre, a warm and inclusive hub where history, culture, and science come together for everyone. 
Situated in Sinixt territory, our facility is thoughtfully designed to provide accessible and engaging experiences for kids, neurodiverse visitors, families, individuals with physical mobility needs, and lifelong learners.
Our main galleries and outdoor grounds showcase a multi-faceted view of local heritage, including hard-rock mining innovations, regional social and labour history, local geology, and Rossland's legacy as the birthplace of Canadian alpine ski racing. Meanwhile, our dedicated Discovery Lab space serves as the energetic home for our educational programs, youth camps, and hands-on workshops.
