The Royal BC Museum has stood near Victoria's inner harbour since 1886. It was born from a petition by locals worried that British Columbia's natural history and indigenous artifacts were quietly disappearing. It replaced the home of Sir James Douglas, the colony's first governor, which was demolished to make room for it.

Inside, the range is remarkable. There's a full-scale recreation of Victoria's 1890s streets, works by Emily Carr, and priceless First Nations objects. The star, though, is Woolly: a giant woolly mammoth built from styrofoam, wood and metal, dressed in nine muskox skins donated by the Arctic community of Grise Fiord. His tusks are fibreglass. He is utterly convincing.

VoiceMap's tours use the museum as a waypoint to explore Victoria's complex relationship with its indigenous heritage, tracing the ongoing work to decolonise the First Peoples galleries and amplify the under-represented voices that earlier museum traditions quietly sidelined.
