Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries (May 17-September 16, 2012)

Royal BC Museum: Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries

The blockbuster exhibition of the year! Imagine the thrill of discovering something new about a creature that lived millions of years ago. Since the first dinosaur fossil was identified almost 200 years ago, people have wondered how these fascinating animals lived, moved and behaved.

Dinosaurs explores how paleontologists today use modern technologies, along with new discoveries and ideas, to investigate and reinterpret puzzling dinosaur mysteries, such as what they really looked like, how they moved and the hotly debated theories of why – or even whether – they became extinct.

Our program schedule during Dinosaurs is jam-packed with events, presentations and hands-on activities.

Queen Elizabeth II by Cecil Beaton: A Diamond Jubilee Celebration (June 1 to September 3, 2012)

Royal BC Museum celebrates the Queen's Diamond Jubilee

Celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee at the Royal BC Museum. This special exhibition of nearly 100 portraits by royal photographer, Cecil Beaton (1904-80) depicts Elizabeth in her roles as princess, monarch and mother, and will include a number of rarely-seen photographs alongside extracts from Beaton’s personal diaries and letters.

Beaton’s royal portraits were among the most widely published photos of the 20th century. The exhibition explores Beaton’s long relationship with Elizabeth, who was a teenage princess when he first photographed her in 1942.

The five-section exhibition charts the shift in Beaton’s style from early rococo-inspired portraits to the starker images of the 1960s.
