Royal BC Museum: Behind the Scenes—an approved 2010 UNESCO International Year of Biodiversity project—is a multi-year project that includes an original exhibition, special events program, interactive website and tours to the museum collections areas. Designed to give visitors an insider’s look at the museum’s 124-year-history of scientific research, Part One of Behind the Scenes runs through to fall 2011 and showcases the work of the natural history department.
The 10,000-square-foot exhibition features thousands of natural history specimens, ranging from preserved sea cucumbers, clawed frogs and pythons, to a 225-million-year-old fossilized Saurichthys (reptile fish).
The AmusEum is a highlight of the show. In this hands-on activity space, explorers 10 years and younger can go wild in three activity tents packed with biodiversity-themed games. Kids can break out their stripes by dressing up like a skunk, channel their inner marine biologist by trekking through a kelp-garden or perform scientific research by studying a bug’s innards through a microscope. 
To visit the online Behind the Scenes interactive exhibition, visit www.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca and click on the magnifying glass.
Approximate value $600. Prize must be redeemed by March 31, 2011.
Deadline to Enter: August 30, 2010.
