Mission Statement
The Whatcom Museum serves as a bridge among diverse people, ideas, and traditions by fostering curiosity and joy about our world. We do this through exhibitions, events, educational programs, and collections reflective of the art, nature, Indigenous cultures, and history of our region and beyond.
“The Whatcom Museum is unique because it is both a product of and for our community. Be sure to visit and see what’s new, especially on the first Friday of each month, when the museum has extended hours, free admission, and free events for all ages.” – Maria J. Coltharp, Whatcom Museum Interim Executive Director
