What people say
- People like:
- Striking whale skeleton, interesting exhibits, helpful staff and enjoyable visits with children.
I walked toward the UBC Beaty Museum expecting “a museum.” Instead, I was summoned. At the entrance stood THE WHALE—massive, suspended, eternal. A colossal guardian of bone and legend, floating above like an ancient sea god who decided…
Great museum located at university. Helpful and friendly staff with interesting exhibits.
