Source: Government of Canada Survey of Heritage Institutions: 2015 The benefit of museums in B.C. Museums and related institutions are vital to B.C.’s creative economy, contributing to jobs, tourism and economic activity in urban and rural communities across the province. Museums, art galleries, historic sites, cultural centres and other memory institutions are keepers of legacy, places of learning, and drivers for the economic and social well-being of our communities. They connect people to collections, to information, to ideas and to each other. B.C. museums are contributing to repatriation and reconciliation by working with Aboriginal communities to recognize the unique histories and experiences of Indigenous peoples and by participating in the respectful return of ancestral remains and cultural belongings. What is a museum? The BC Museums Association defines museums and related institutions in British Columbia to include art galleries; natural, archeological and ethnographic monuments and sites and historical monuments and sites of a museum nature that acquire, conserve and communicate material evidence of people and their environment; institutions holding collections of and displaying live specimens of plants and animals, such as botanical and zoological gardens, aquaria and vivaria; science centres and planetaria; conservation institutes and exhibition galleries permanently maintained by libraries and archive centres; nature reserves; and such other institutions as the BC Museums Association Council considers as having some or all of the characteristics of a museum or as supporting museums and professional museum workers through museological research, education or training, such as heritage organizations.
