Royal BC Museum

About

Since 1886 the Royal BC Museum has preserved and shared the human and natural histories of British Columbia.

Story

The Royal BC Museum Corporation is one of the foremost cultural institutions in the world. The museum was founded in 1886; the archives in 1894. In 2003 these two organizations integrated to become British Columbia's combined provincial museum and archives, collecting artifacts, documents and specimens of BC's natural and human history, safeguarding them for the future, and sharing them with the world.

Through research and education, we strive to broaden understanding about our province and inspire curiosity and wonder. We are passionate about sharing British Columbia's story with the millions of visitors who walk through our doors and explore our web site each year.

Our archives, exhibits and galleries change and grow as our understanding grows, and we endeavour to share our knowledge in original and exciting ways. Each exhibit and gallery tells important stories about British Columbia and provides an engaging and thought-provoking window on the province's past, present and future. Our archives provide a treasure trove of information for researchers and genealogists through the stories that are preserved here.

Reviews
The exhibits are quite immersive. Very well done , and educational - even for grown ups. I had no idea the ship George Vancouver commanded when mapping these lands was this small! I also really appreciated the replica of the Old Town. It feels like walking through a portal centuries back into the past.
Nice museum to learn about local history and culture. Great exhibition ls and learning tools from the past. Well layouts and good to spend about 2 to 3 hours as you go. Museum shop and cafe available as well. Limited paid parking at location. But can find nearby street or public parking for your visit. Park your car then explore the area and water front as well. Next to the BC government building and Empress hotel. Recommended
Absolutely incredible, must visit if you're in Victoria!nnI enjoyed the second floor exhibits for a full two hours, even with the rotating exhibit available. Only then did I figure out there was more on the third floor. So so much more!nnMy only regret is that I didn't have more time to enjoy the Museum.
Fun for all and the price is well worth the visit! Plan for at least 3 hours without IMAX, to really enjoy all of the exhibits. I loved the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibit, and the Old Town! So much to see and do, and a Woolly Mammoth waiting to greet you!
The museum is large, with three floors of different exhibits. When I was there, I particularly enjoyed the natural history exhibit, with life-size reproductions of animals and natural environments, and also the historical exhibit, featuring environments, buildings and sites.
