Our Mission

The Royal BC Museum’s mission is to promote an understanding of the living landscapes and cultures of British Columbia and engage people in a dialogue about their future. This commitment, aligned with the UN’s Earth Charter, drives everything we do. To achieve this we; • take a leadership role in research and scholarship • develop, preserve and exhibit a world-class collection • deliver innovative programming and partnerships

Admission fees and membership cover only a portion of the cost of caring for and sharing our collection. Each year, we rely on the support of our generous donors, sponsors and grants from the province to help fill a three million dollar funding gap. PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY.
