Located in Whistler, the Audain Art Museum houses the private collection of philanthropists Michael Audain and Yoshiko Karasawa. The museum displays a comprehensive permanent collection of art from British Columbia, as well as dynamic exhibitions from around the world. Exemplifying the richness of cultural difference in Canada, the collection takes visitors on a transformative visual journey from the late 18th century to the present.
