This distinctive museum will introduce you to Doukhobor lifestyle as it evolved in the Kootenay region of British Columbia from 1908 to 1938. Over 1,000 artifacts represent the arts and crafts, customs and religion of the people. This unique museum is nestled in a beautiful historic setting on the banks of the Columbia River on traditional Doukhobor orchard land. Here, you can stroll through the spacious grounds under the benign gaze of Lev Tolstoy, Doukhobor benefactor and admire the heritage plants. Books, craft items, music and films are available for purchase in the Village Art Gallery/Craft Center, which also features art displays. Our Audio Visual Gallery features continuous film documentaries, a photo archive and new exhibits yearly. There are ten buildings and ten acres for your museum viewing pleasure.
