Museum Purchases IMAX Theatre
By Erika Stenson Head of Marketing, Sales and Business Development
As part of our long-term planning to modernize the Royal BC Museum precinct, the museum purchased the IMAX Victoria from Destination Cinema Inc. in August 2020. By bringing IMAX Victoria under museum control, we ensure that the potential redevelopment process for the Belleville site won’t be impacted by a private lease agreement down the road. The BC government and the museum are working together on the plan for the future museum facilities.
FINE FEATH
In the meantime, we are happy to have the IMAX staff, annual pass holders and visitors as an official part of our museum community. IMAX will continue to show the documentary features and Hollywood films visitors have come to expect, and the overall experience will remain largely unchanged. “This is an exciting step for the Royal BC Museum’s modernization,” said Professor Jack Lohman, museum CEO. “Bringing IMAX Victoria into the museum operation opens up more educational opportunities as we work to update the museum.” Now that the province is in Phase Three of recovery planning for the COVID-19 pandemic, the IMAX theatre is open with enhanced safety measures, including a maximum capacity of 50 visitors.
