Victoria, Vancouver Island - Canada (2012)
On our last morning in Victoria (we would be taking the ferry back to the mainland that afternoon) we decided to visit the Royal BC Museum. And I'm so glad we did! I can really recommend a visit if you happen to be there or planning a trip to Victoria.
In a few words, the museum presents the history of the area; natural history, first peoples, and modern history. One of the exhibitions shows a selection of ancient artifacts found in British Columbia, monumental carvings, masks, clothing, and traditional housing.
This is a photo from the First Peoples Galleries. Impressive!

  4. Impressive indeed. That's a museum I must visit someday. I've been in BC, but not all the way to the coast.
