Royal
British Columbia Museum |
The Royal British
Columbia Museum is a place of discovery. Through three unique galleries,
the Museum showcases the human and natural history of British Columbia,
and features periodic exhibitions of international renown.
Highly realistic and inviting displays, such as the Ice Age and Coastal
Forest dioramas, provide visitors with a sense of having truly experienced
the authentic settings of many exhibits.
Travel through
the last Ice Age and emerge into British Columbian ecosystems as
they exist today. The Natural History Gallery is a fascinating re-creation
of our coastal forests and marine environment. You can even visit
a live tidal pool for an introduction to sea anemones and starfish!
The fascinating and exciting Open Ocean exhibit re-creates a submarine
voyage to the depths of the marine world.
The history
of British Columbia's First Nations is rich and diverse. Stories
of triumph, tragedy and survival are told through a collection of
remarkable artifacts, including a ceremonial Big House and totem
poles.
Step back in
time...from the 1970s to the 1700s. The Modern History Gallery re-creates
the growth of British Columbia's industrial society through a realistic
setting. Start with a stroll down a cobbled street. Experience the
larger-than-life films of IMAX at the Royal B.C. Museum.
