</span></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Univers LT Pro 45 Light","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.
