Free Open House for Educators 

Join us on October 19 for a free Open House for Educators. Whether you teach pre-school, high-school, post-secondary, or adult learners, your lessons can be supported by our exhibits, activities, and programs.

Learn about the opportunities available to your school at the museum, and the offerings we have for this year. Receive a tour of the museum designed just for teachers, explore the opportunities in our collections with a scavenger hunt, and test out our programs by trying some of the activities featured in our guided programs.

RSVP to this event. 

Dive deep into one of the six collections that make up the museum: Tetrapods, Marine Invertebrates, Herbarium, Entomology, Fish, or Fossils. Discover stories about BC species, research, and how organisms in the collection of your choice relate to others.

This introductory tour will teach you about the different specimens in the collection, along with stories about the people that have contributed to it. After a brief tour, your group will head to the Discovery Lab to get hands-on with specimens from the collection.

Learn more about this tour and our other programs available and submit a booking request online.

The Beaty Biodiversity Museum strives to inspire an understanding of biodiversity, its origins, and importance to humans through collections-based research, education and outreach. As Vancouver’s natural history museum, we work to promote a greater sense of collective responsibility for the biodiversity of British Columbia, Canada, and the world. The unique combination of world-class research, paired with beautiful, compelling exhibits, strives to make the research conducted at UBC more accessible to the public.
