The Dawson Creek Museum 2009

The Dawson Creek Railway Museum




Dawson Creek Museum 2009 from Dean Noble on Vimeo.







This is a documentary about a museum. A museum which gets visited every so often.



Dawson Creek is a town in Northern Canada. About eleven thousand residents live a relatively undisturbed and happy life here.


The museum is open from 8am to 7 pm during the summer. The entrance to the museum is easily found in front of the museum.


A rich display of stuffed animals and lots of birds adorn the main hallway.


Grouse, ptarmigans, a snowy owl, little field sparrows and a great seagull form the taxidermic aviary of this wonderous museum.


A massive mammoth tusk from about a million years ago, dwarfing the visitors that stand next to it and view it.


The twentieth century is well represented here.

A kitchen exhibit which shows the finery of the period.

A dining room area which has lots of fine paintings and prints hanging on the wall.


The typewriters and telegraph machines underscore that this museum used to be a train station.


I leave the museum again for another year.
