Exhibitions at the museum include the Historic Port Moody live-in CPR Station itself, where you can see artifacts and take a step back in time while walking through the parlour, kitchen, and telegraph room, recreated to reflect the station as it was in the 1930s. As well as our waiting room, mail room and freight room to learn about the industries that shaped our community.
We also have our restored 1921 CPR railcar, the “Venosta” that housed cabins for first-class passengers.
Our newest exhibit features 'The Evolution of Technology in Communication', an exploration of how humans have communicated across time—from the earliest cave paintings to the digital conversations of today.
Our other displays include 'Legacy of Perseverance and Progress' a timeline of how Chinese Canadians played a vital role in shaping British Columbia’s rich history and 'IOCO Townsite' illustrating the company town that created a rich community.
​
We are hosting the artists behind 'Fish Inked' in a creative way to tie in the Art Shuffle to our current exhibit around communication.
Fish Inked creates gyotaku prints.
Gyotaku is more than just an art form—it’s a unique form of communication that tells stories through prints. Originally, Japanese anglers used it to document their catches before photography existed, sharing proof of their skills and the richness of the sea.
Today, Gyotaku continues to communicate the beauty of marine life, preserving the details of each fish in a way that words cannot. It serves as a bridge between tradition and modern art, educating others about nature, and sustainability.
