I don't think it's promoted nearly enough. It should have a national (if not international) reputation, and yet it doesn't.
Anyway, they have a temporary "science centre" thing going on right now. I think they should incorporate some permanent interactive scientific stuff.

Is there still space to expand on the back side of the museum, where the courtyard/entrance to the Newcombe Theatre used to be?

I too love the museum. I love the Mammoth.
We should get a bunch of people of V.V. and go on a tour of the Museum.

And yes, this is one institution that truly deserves the phrase "world class". I just wish it was free again.

Let's go later in the year and see if we can get a group rate. I'd like to see it again.

Great to hear they are planning a new extension. What will happen to the public art in that square? I have always sort of felt sorry for its location.

Entry into the Royal B.C. Museum is by donation until the 9th of January. If you haven't had the chance to visit the museum in a while now is definitely a good time to do so.
Thanks for bringing this up, Mike. I put the article in the tourism thread, I think, couldn't find this thread among all the cobwebs.

We will be hearing more from the museum in the coming months. They are outgrowing their premises and there will likely be profound changes in the physical layout of the site over the next few years.

A reminder that this event is almost over.

...and with genome mapping and cloning etc. soon they will be able to have a real wooly mammoth outside, like in a zoo setting, so that'll clear out space.

We will likely see a rezoning application this year that will give the museum more flexibility in future planning. It's already acknowledged that the Fannin Tower (the highrise housing the Provincial Archives) is aging and crowded.
A major redevelopment may be in the works.

Amazing as it may seem, until just a few years ago, the entire RBCM site was still divided into individual lots. Lot consolidation was done but the site (and the Legislature site) is still under the generic R-2 zone which is common single family dwelling zoning but also allows apartments and "public buildings".

I hope those buildings get a heritage designation, before someone wants to tear them down and erect condos.
