Marvellous Mushrooms Opening
Tickets for Emily Betz’s talk are unfortunately sold out, guests are still welcome to come to the museum after hours.
From the Royal BC Museum, come join us at our official opening on July 25th at 5:30 pm of Marvellous Mushrooms!
To celebrate the opening of our travelling exhibition, Marvellous Mushrooms by the Royal BC Museum, and our Growing in the Tri-Cities display, we will be hosting an opening night event! Guests will be given the opportunity to explore the museum outside of open hours, hear a talk from Emily Betz, researcher and educator at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, mingle with members of the community, and, of course, enjoy some light snacks and drinks.
While that portion is only available to ticketed guests, visitors who do not have a ticket can experience the museum after hours (5 pm - 8 pm) and purchase concession and drinks at the door.
Marvellous Mushrooms by Royal BC Museum encourages visitors to learn more about BC mushrooms and their versality. It introduces a cross-section of different species—some familiar, some bizarre, some delicious and some deadly. Their lives are interwoven with every part of British Columbia ecosystems.
Mushrooms are not only a subject of scientific study but also a source of food, dyes, and medicine; and objects of ceremony and beauty. This exhibition delves into the many facets of these fabulous fungi. — RBCM
