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. Excellent education and entertainment for the whole family. Ranked as one of the most sought-after museums in North America. http://www.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca
