See all of British Columbia at the Royal BC Museum. Experience our galleries and immerse yourself in the tales of where we've been and where we are going. Discover things and people you never knew before, while your children play in the AmusEum - a sustainability-themed activity zone! Then enjoy the rest of the museum and all its hands-on opportunities. You'll experience authentic artifacts in highly realistic immersive settings - from Woolly Mammoth in his rocky, icy world, to a short trip on the tar-scented HMS Discovery. Stroll through Old Town's wood-cobbled street, enjoy its shops, cinema & railway station (wave to the passing train). Visit a ceremonial Big House; see an impressive selection of First Nations totem poles & masks. Learn about BC's coastal marine life via a Victoria-era 'submarine', just like Captain Nemo and check out live creatures in the 360 litre aquarium. From a wide variety of optional guided tours, to ever-changing presentations by museum staff - there's something for everyone, every day. Don't miss our special exhibitions including: Wildlife Photographer of the Year (Dec 16, 2011-Apr 9, 2012); Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries (May 17, 2012-Dec 16, 2012); and Queen Elizabeth II by Cecil Beaton: A Diamond Jubilee Celebration (Jun 1, 2012-Sep 3, 2012).
