El Proyecto Alberni - Museo y Memorial HMCS Alberni

Experiencia fantástica: Small but full of history, covering different parts of military history. Naturally a lot of it involves Canada but not all; the ANZAC exhibit was a case in point - an excellent, touching and eye-opening special exhibit. There are regular time-limited exhibits, all very well-done. Volunteer-run and very worth checking out.

Experiencia fantástica: This is an awesome museum. I am glad we have a place we can go in the valley to learn about and remember the soldiers who fought for us in the wars. There's a lot you can explore in this small space. Unfortunately, I stopped in a little too late in the day, I would recommend a minimum of 1 hour to have enough time to experience this. Definitely worth stopping in, I will be back.

Experiencia fantástica: A small but very special museum. Lewis gave us a personal tour and told us many personal stories. You can touch and play with many artifacts. I hope to come back when I visit Courtenay again.

Experiencia fantástica: Short and sweet museum, entrance fee is by donation, and the guy working there was very nice and knowledgeable. Would recommend checking out if your in the area

Experiencia fantástica: Good place to visit!

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic museum! Countless artifacts with obvious care & attention to detail in preserving them & telling their story. A must stop, something for everyone in the family!

Experiencia fantástica: I was in Comox for a few days and wanted to check out some of the local museums. I happened upon The Alberni Project as one of the top 10 places to visit in the Comox area. Spent a little over an hour in the main exhibit and another half hour in the Innocent Eyes exhibit. Although the underlying drive of this museum was surrounding the HMCS Alberni history and its sinking during WWII, the exhibits cover much more than that. You get to see perspectives from other parts of society of how the war affected them. The other exhibit, Innocent Eyes, was very moving as it centres around the effect war has on children. Very powerful messages that remind us what is important. Many thanks to Lewis and others who have spent so much time and energy in starting and keeping this project going. Without museums like these, many aspects of history will slowly fade away.

Experiencia fantástica: Outstanding! This is a brilliant little museum with a fascinating collection of pieces telling the story of the HMCS Alberni, as well as lots of other interesting bits on Canada's war history.

Experiencia fantástica: One of the best museums of its kind in Canada. Small but very filled with artefacts and stories of Canadians in times of war. I make it a point each year to visit the Comox Valley to see what this amazing museum has on exhibit. This year it is an exhibit on the stories of children in war. Excellent job once more and extremely moving experience. If you like museums like the National War Museum in Ottawa or the Calgary military museums, you will love this small gem in downtown Courtenay.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely wonderful, Lewis is such a great man with a passion and a dream, he followed his dream and made a story of Canada and the axis during the war, the Museum is so full of heart, I had a wonderful time, and recommend this museum to anyone in the area
