Online Exhibitions
This is the first alien species interactive website of its kind from a Canadian museum - a site that not only educates, but allows visitors to track species using Google Maps. Visitors can upload the location of an alien sighting, images if they have them, and field notes. The website also offers the opportunity to ask questions of one of the Royal BC Museum curators or collection managers.
Dimensions: 21 ' x 16 '
In the lobby of the Royal BC Museum is an immense relief map of British Columbia - the Big Map
.
On the Big Map, visitors encounter a variety of projected presentations about topics that are important to the province - climate change, water, living traditions of First Nations, how BC came to be.
Satellite imaging was used to carve the mountains, valleys and coastlines and then a specially designed digital program allows features on the map to be highlighted along with dramatic film footage.
We've shared four of its popular animations online to give you an intriguing glimpse of just how big BC really is.
