<p class="xbodytext" style="margin-top:.1pt;background:white"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The Royal BC Museum explores the province’s human history and natural history, advances new knowledge and understanding
of BC, and provides a dynamic forum for discussion and a place for reflection. The museum and archives celebrate culture and history, telling the stories of BC in ways that enlighten, stimulate and inspire. Located in Victoria on the traditional territory
of the Lekwungen (Songhees and Xwsepsum Nations), we are a hub of community connections in BC–onsite, offsite and online–taking pride in our collective histories.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
