Located along Highway 6 south of Nelson, B.C., the Hotel Ymir Country Resort houses a private art collection that could rival almost any in Western Canada. The decades-old building is literally packed to the rafters with more than 400 original paintings and artifacts by renowned Canadian artists such as Allan Edwards, E.J. Art covers every available space in both the pub and hotel rooms at the Hotel Ymir Country Resort. In addition to the dozens of paintings found in the pub, all the hotel rooms and hallways contain original art as well. Ymir hotel and pub contains multiple original paintings by First Nations artist Norval Morrisseau, known as "the Picasso of the North."
