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 museum is massive and full of various exhibits. At least 3 hours minimum is necessary to go through all of them. I had a great experience at the Stonehenge exhibit. It was extremely detailed and contained a wealth of artifacts. The model mannequins of workers and artisans were an outstanding touch and really brought the scale of their labor into perspective. Highly recommended.
Overall, this is a beautiful museum. For tourists from WA state, if you have limited time and unless you like the exhibit they have currently. This could be a pass.nThey had the Stonehenge exhibit in which was interesting and informative. The rest of very similar to what you see in WA museums. Still a great experience, spent about a little over 2 hours here in total. They had an old town exhibit, 60s stuff on display, native exhibit, animal exhibit with taxidermy animals.
What a wonderful museum. The featured exhibit was about Stonehenge, which was incredibly interesting. My friends and I really enjoyed all of the exhibits that look back in time, they were all simply fascinating, especially the old mining town that you can walk through and explore. I highly recommend this museum, and suggest you give plenty of time to see all the exhibits.
A large and very interesting museum, it’s breathtaking how alive the illustrations look. My friend and I had little time, so we skipped the educational recordings in the museum. But there was a lot of useful information there, for those who want to learn new things in the museum. Even if you are not a fan of museums, you should visit this one for the emotions and beautiful photographs
I recently visited the Royal BC Museum and was thoroughly impressed by the diverse and engaging exhibits. Among the highlights were the detailed displays about Stonehenge, which provided fascinating insights into its construction, distribution, and historical significance. I learned so much about this ancient marvel that I never knew before.nnThe museum also featured a captivating marine life exhibit, among many other interesting displays. Despite spending over three hours exploring, I was never bored for a moment. Each section offered something new and exciting to discover.nnAdditionally, I received a student discount, which saved me $10 off the regular admission price. This made the visit not only educational and enjoyable but also quite affordable. I highly recommend the Royal BC Museum to anyone looking for an enriching and memorable experience.
