The Nk'Mip Desert Cultural Centre is a great place to visit. Be sure if you visit during the summer to carry water with you, it is a desert.
Nk'Mip Man and Horse is a great sculpture that sits on a very large rock. Arms stretched high holding a spear; he welcomes visitors to the centre.
Collaboratively designed by Chief Clarence Louie of the Osoyoos Indian Band, and Okanagan artist, Virgil “Smoker” Marchand of the Colville Confederated Tribes in Omak, Washington.
The spectacular Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre (pronounced in-ka-meep) is the Okanagan’s newest family tourism destination.
The state-of-the-art interpretive centre is an architectural marvel sensitively constructed into a hillside. Extensive indoor and outdoor exhibit galleries create a fun, interactive learning environment with hands-on displays, education stations and two multi-media theatre experiences.
Discover the fascinating stories of Canada’s only desert and share in the rich living culture of the Okanagan people.
