NEPDEP: Live from the Salish Sea
Please note: this event is now online-only.
Join researchers from the Northeast Pacific Deepsea Exploration Project (NEPDEP) live from their ship on the open ocean.
This "Ship2Shore" session will livestream footage from underwater submersibles, explore the vessel and provide the opportunity to have questions answered by researchers from Oceans Networks Canada.
Join Provincial Carillonneur, Rosemary Laing, for a live recital. Music will feature songs written for the carillon, Canadian folk tunes and popular songs.
The Netherlands Centennial Carillon can be heard throughout the inner harbour, but the best place to enjoy the recital is from a bench in the Native Plant Garden or another area of the precinct around the Royal BC Museum.
Join us for a tour of protest through music.

Join us on a journey into the rich and complex story of Indian Chintz.
On this 30-minute guided experience, you'll uncover the true story of Indian Chintz - a centuries-old textile tradition born in the Indian subcontinent, and shaped by global trade, colonialism and cultural exchange.
Discover how Indian artisans created dazzling multicoloured cottons using intricate hand painted and block-printed techniques. You'll also learn how these fabrics became luxury items in royal courts and unpack the role of chintz in the rise of fast fashion.
Chinese peoples have migrated to what is now known as Canada since first stepping foot in Mawaachat/Muchalaht First Nations territories in 1788.
In this 30-minute tour of the Chinese Canadian Museum's Odysseys and Migration exhibition, journey through key points in Chinese Canadian history, interwoven with the true story of Wong Guey Dang, a Chinese Canadian labourer and restauranteur.
The tour begins outside the Odysseys and Migration exhibition on the 2nd floor.
Join one of our educators for a guided walking tour of our Native Plant Garden! Learn about the plant neighbours we share here on the BC coast, including some of their Indigenous uses. Approximately eight different plants will be highlighted.

Your voice can help make the museum even more welcoming, creative and fun!
