Exhibit has been closed for about 18 months as Royal B.C. Museum went through a time of tumult.
The popular Royal B.C. Museum Old Town exhibit reopened on Saturday after being closed for about 18 months, with updated signs and smaller, reworked exhibition space.
Loraine said that she liked how some of the signs put old exhibitions in a new context. She pointed to the new sign at an office that described the colonial approaches of land and resource extraction. “It helps you to think of things a little differently,” she said. The sleeping car porters in Vancouver were elemental to Canada’s federation and have a rich, under-explored history, he said. “A lot of our history is not shown in these spaces.”
She told the Times Colonist that the exhibit was identified as a file “that needed some work” when she took on the ministerial role in December. The First Peoples gallery, which is currently being used for discussion and collaboration with Indigenous communities, is not expected to reopen in the immediate future.
