May 17-23, 2021 is BC Museums Week
The annual celebration of museums, art galleries, historic sites, cultural centres, and other memory institutions in BC.
The week is held annually in May, providing an opportunity for British Columbians to celebrate the vital role museums play in their communities, economy and education. This year’s theme is #MuseumACTION and the BC Museum Association (BCMA) has an exciting week of free webinars, podcasts, discussions and other resources available to help you make change for the future.
