My husband and I visited the QB Museum 31 July after seeing an episode of Canada Over the Edge (Vancouver Island Eastern Coastline) that, to our delight, featured Qualicum Beach; with a discussion by Palaeontologist Graham Beard about all the fossils he found locally and brought to the museum.
The museum is well organized, with intersting artifacts, wonderful videos of how QB was founded - its first European settlers - and stories about the first luxury hotel that attracted Hollywood stars and Royal celebraties you just have to see for yourself. There was so much to see and learn.... we'll have to plan several return visits.
Admission by donation. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable workers. Lots to see. They had a garage exhibit of electronics as well as two floors at the museum, gift shop stocked with locally made crafts and a little theatre that played 2-3 minute movies about the area. There was a quaint garden and a locally made totem pole. Located at the top floor were artifacts from a heritage school, historic pictures of the area and artifacts from the area. A good little museum if you want to keep busy in the area. About a 10-15 minute walk into the town.
It was fair. Small and dark but the old radio exhibits were really neat.
Interesting local history displays.
Plan to visit this museum when in Qualicum Beach! While small, it has a diverse range of very exciting history on display. From paleontology and fossils, to social history and culture ... step back in time. If you enjoy Royal memorabilia, you will find a nice collection to browse. Admission by donation - $5 a person is average. Please support the local artists in the gift shop - artists and museum need our support!
