Must see in Whistler - Audain Art Museum
 One of the must see attractions in Whistler is the NEW Audain Art Museum. The Audain is Whistler's newest cultural hot spot. Located by the Village, the iconic building has a permanent collection of artworks from British Columbia, and will host exhibitions from leading museums around the world.
The Museum contains a permanent collection of the art of British Columbia including an outstanding collection of nineteenth century Northwest Coast masks, one of Canada’s strongest Emily Carr collections, a selection of Vancouver’s celebrated photo-based art plus a gallery devoted to West Coast artist Edward J. Hughes.
The collection includes The Crazy Stair, a painting by Emily Carr which recently sold at auction for a record breaking $3.3 million. This price was the highest ever paid for an Emily Carr at auction, the highest for a work by a Canadian woman artist and the fourth most expensive work at an art auction in Canada. www.AudainArtMuseum.com
