Discover British Columbia at the Royal BC Museum. From coastal forests to the depths of the north Pacific, explore our gallery and immerse yourself in tales of where we’ve been and where we are going. Experience authentic artifacts and highly realistic settings as you journey to the Ice Age and spot a Woolly Mammoth.  Dive under the ocean and check out some of the amazing creatures living in our waters and see how climate change is impacting the world we live in. Learn things you never knew before at what TripAdvisor users have consistently ranked the number one museum in Canada. Continue the adventure with an immersive cinematic experience at IMAX® Victoria, BC’s largest screen.

Your experience doesn’t end inside. Enjoy the other remarkable historical venues on our grounds, including Helmcken House, St. Ann’s Schoolhouse, the Netherlands Centennial Carillon and Thunderbird Park. Our precinct also includes a year-round food truck festival and Sequoia Coastal Coffee. Located on Victoria’s Inner Harbour, we are within walking distance of downtown hotels and restaurants.
