Descripción: «The Royal BC Museum rewards visitors with a magical journey through BC's history. Two intriguing floors of exhibits bring the past to life.
Captain Vancouver's ship, a partial re-creation of the HMS Discovery, sits at its dock in an area devoted to early explorers and the fur trade. The European influx eventually brought mining, logging, fishing, and agriculture on a commercial scale, all represented in displays in the modern history gallery.
A turn-of-the-20th century town features a theatre with silent movies, a steam train pulling into the station, a Chinatown alley with resident cat, and the aroma of apple pie wafting from a kitchen. The century lives on in displays by the decade, with Pokemon and skateboards included as a few of the cultural icons of the 1990s.
In the natural history gallery, the coastal rain forest is carpeted with real salal undergrowth. Ocean animals enjoy their tidal pool at the seashore. Realistic dioramas provide backdrops for a homestead scene from the Peace River region and for the birds of the Fraser River Delta. Plants of BC are found in the native plant gardens outside the Museum building.»
