Royal British Columbia Museum, Natural history museum in Victoria, Canada
The Royal British Columbia Museum contains three permanent galleries dedicated to natural history, modern history, and First Nations heritage, including a comprehensive collection of artifacts.
Founded in 1886 in response to citizens' concerns about the exportation of natural specimens and First Nations artifacts from British Columbia to other regions.
The museum stands on traditional Lekwungen territories, maintaining collections of indigenous artifacts and incorporating perspectives from Songhees and Xwsepsum Nations into its exhibits.
Located between the Empress Hotel and Legislative Buildings, the museum maintains a collection of 7 million objects across eight scientific disciplines, including entomology and paleontology.
The institution received its royal designation in 1986 during Queen Elizabeth II's visit, coinciding with the museum's centennial celebration.
