About this place

A museum in Bellingham focused on art, nature, and regional history. The permanent collections include paintings, photographs, sculptures, and crafts from the nineteenth century onward, with particular emphasis on work made in or about the Pacific Northwest. The museum also holds Indigenous material culture, notably over 500 baskets from Alaska, Washington, and British Columbia. Families with children can visit the Family Interactive Gallery at the Lighcatcher building, a self-guided creative play space designed for younger visitors.

If you are a member here

A membership to Whatcom Museum carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in these programs.

  • the full Time Travelers list History museums, historical societies and heritage sites
  • the full NARM list Art, history and cultural institutions. Not valid within 15 miles of here.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
