Walk the red carpet and put your trivia intellect to the test at this exciting gala fundraising game! Now in its sixth year, Artifact or Artifiction matches wits between party-goers and museum curators, collections managers and archivists. Twenty peculiar artifacts from the Royal BC Museum collections – and 20 even stranger tales about the items’ origins – are displayed throughout the gallery spaces. The task: decipher museological fact from fiction by determining which stories are tall-tales and which are truths.
Emceed by Tony Parsons, anchor of CHEK News and CBC News Vancouver, this don’t-miss event will feature a delectable roving buffet of fresh local ingredients; select BC beer, wine and cider; and a chance to win a 10-day Holland America cruise for two, amongst other prizes.
Last year, net proceeds from Artifact or Artifiction came in at $59,000 – surpassing the $50,000 goal. Funds raised went to support the preservation of two historically significant buildings located on the Royal BC Museum property, Helmcken House and St. Ann’s Schoolhouse. The proceeds for this year's event will go to support natural history outreach initiatives.
A limited number of tickets are available and priced at $125 each (HST-free with a 10% discount for Royal BC Museum members). They can be purchased by phone, 250-387-7222, or online by clicking here.
