If you happened to visit the museum in the past couple of weeks, you may have noticed that our whale station has received an upgrade! With new, touchable specimens, an interactive media display, and more educational information about blue whales, it's worth visiting the museum again to check it out! Especially since . . .

Did you know that you can receive complimentary admission for you and one guest whenever you visit the museum? Show ID or proof of membership with a teacher association, such as the BCTF or an accredited home learner association to our admissions desk when you arrive. Use this to get familiar with the museum before class trip, check out the new exhibitions, or experience the museum with friends or family. 

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.
