Dawson City Museum, History museum in Dawson City, Canada.
The Dawson City Museum features exhibits dedicated to the northern Canadian heritage, mining equipment, and regional development through multiple galleries and displays.
Originally constructed as a territorial administrative building, the museum structure underwent transformation in 1979 to house collections from the Klondike Gold Rush period.
The museum documents the stories of indigenous Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in people, gold miners, settlers, and modern residents through photographs, artifacts, and personal accounts.
Located at 595 Fifth Avenue, the museum opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM during summer months, with guided tours available four times throughout the day.
The institution maintains the largest digital collection of Tr'ondëk-Klondike images, including photographs of midnight tennis matches and canoe rides on flooded streets.
