Our trip to the museum was pretty fun and informative. The staff was helpful and friendly and the exhibits were pretty interesting. The place is small but the entrance fee does give you access to the other building, and there is a tour you can join if they are there at the right time.

Enjoyed the walk through and all the pictures and the birds and so on it was comfortable walking through as well just wasn't happy about the elevator needs to be updated but everything else was nice and felt comfortable walking around

The third floor was a big surprise. So so many stuffed birds. Other than that, there were some local history and information about the natives. Pretty small scale but the ticket includes the entrance of the museum next door.

Exploring this building -- Bellingham's Old City Hall -- is reason enough to visit this magnificent 19th Century landmark overlooking Bellingham Bay which now houses the museum. In addition to their regular collection which is worthy of exploring, the museum regularly rotates the collection and attracts a variety of excellent speakers, lecturers, historians and artist. Today, Sonoma-based painter and curator of “The Intimate Diebenkorn” (currently on exhibit at the Lightcatcher through August 19th) Chester Arnold, noted that mid-century painter, Richard Diebenkorn’s artworks “are the works of a modern master.” Arnold shared insight and depth into the life and work of Diebenkorn at a lecture in the Museum’s Rotunda Room this afternoon (Saturday, June 23). Diebenkorn’s personal experiences, especially the Bay Area landscape surrounding him, clearly shaped his style, perspective, and career. Next stop: the nearby Lightcatcher Museum (250 Flora Street -- two blocks away).
