Dinosaurs of BC, a travelling exhibit produced by the Royal BC Museum, will be on display at the Alberni Valley Museum from September, 2026 to January, 2027.

Dig into prehistoric British Columbia and get up close and personal with “Buster”, the Iron Lizard of the Sustut River, and the other dinosaurs that once roamed the province’s highest peaks, densest forests, and most remote river basins.

 

Follow the footsteps of tyrannosaurs and ankylosaurs, see beautifully preserved marine fossils, and meet the BC-born and bred Buster, our reigning resident ferrisaurus.

 

Dinosaurs of BC initially debuted at the Royal BC Museum in 2023 and was met with an overwhelmingly positive public response.

An art class with the aim of relieving the gloom and tedium resulting from rationing, blackouts and other aspects of life during WWII, was the beginning of the Alberni Valley Art Group. This exhibit follows the Art Group as it developed over the years and is beautifully illustrated by the Group’s artwork.
