Welcome

Dear friends and supporters,

I am sure you will agree that 2022 was quite a year and 2023 promises to be even busier with exciting new initiatives, a lineup of spectacular feature exhibitions and the rollout of our province-wide community engagement strategy.

I’m delighted to greet you in these pages and am grateful for the warm and generous welcome I’ve received since my arrival at the Royal BC Museum in

Dinosaurs of BC opening in April, and Angkor: The Lost Empire of Cambodia and SUE: The T. rex Experience both slated for June. We are also working hard with partners to confirm a fourth, Indigenous-created exhibition, but more on that in communications to come!

Dinosaurs of BC is an in-house exhibition that showcases the extraordinary depth of our palaeontological collections and the groundbreaking work of our palaeontological team. Angkor is a bona fide blockbuster about a spiritual, cultural and architectural marvel in Cambodia. And SUE is the story of one of prehistory’s most fearsome predators—the reigning tyrant monarch, in all their fantastic, ferocious glory.
