About this experience

The Royal BC Museum is a museum in Victoria, British Columbia, dedicated to the natural and human history of the province. Located at 675 Belleville Street, it holds one of Canada's most significant collections relating to British Columbia's Indigenous peoples, ecosystems, and social history. Entry tickets cover access to the Natural History of BC Galleries and all feature exhibitions across the building's permanent and rotating programme. Inside, visitors move through galleries that document the province's wildlife, geology, and cultural heritage. Old Town, New Approach recreates a British Columbia town at the turn of the 20th century, with period storefronts and streetscapes. The Jonathan Hunt House presents a ceremonial Kwakwaka'wakw house installation honouring the late Chief Jonathan Hunt, offering context on the traditions and material culture of BC's First Nations. Our Living Languages, an award-winning exhibit, traces the history and current state of Indigenous languages across the province. The Natural History galleries cover the region's ecosystems and species in depth. Note that admission to the IMAX Cinema is not included in the standard entry ticket. For visitors planning a broader trip, Vancouver attractions and regional highlights are worth considering alongside a visit here.
