Ever wondered what secrets lie beyond the galleries of the Royal BC Museum? During Ocean Week Victoria, join us for Queer & Curious, a special behind-the-scenes tour designed for the queer community!  Get a unique look at the hidden corners of the Royal BC Museum’s natural history collection and exhibit arts spaces. From rare specimens to the creative magic that brings exhibits to life, this tour is a chance to see the museum in a whole new way – through curiosity, connection, and joy!

As part of Ocean Week Victoria, this tour will highlight fascinating specimens connected to the sea and our coast, through the lens of paleontology and entomology. Led by museum staff, this relaxed and interactive experience invites you to explore, ask questions, and celebrate the many ways museums – and nature – are full of diversity.

Bring your curiosity, bring your friends, and let’s make some history together.
