In previous years, our events involved everything from life DJ sets to sleeping bags next to the Gold Rush diorama! This year, things have to be a bit different, but we've got you covered.

Join us for a Digital version of Late Night at the Museum!

For the last hour of International Museum Day (next Tuesday, May 18), we are pulling back the curtain of the Royal BC Museum late into the night. During this special virtual tour through the museum and behind the scenes, you are in charge! Learning team member Chris O'Connor will organize the group online, and you all will help make the plan of where to go.

You can join this unique tour from the comfort of your own home! (That means pajamas, mocktails, popcorn... get creative!)
This program will run from 11:00 pm to 11:59 pm. $5.00 for members and only $7.50 for non-members!

Flying high above the Entrance Island Lighthouse, a heritage structure that stands on a rocky islet along the Inside Passage in the Strait of Georgia.

If you’ve ever taken BC Ferries to/from Nanaimo, you’ve passed this little island. This photo was captured during a flight with Sunshine Coast Air.
