Fall in love with the diversity of life as you explore 20,000 square feet of exhibits, visit the Allan Yap Teaching Lab, and stare through the jaws of the largest creature ever to live on Earth—the blue whale.
The museum puts UBC’s natural history collections, with more than two million specimens, on public view for the first time. Among our treasures are a 26-metre-long blue whale skeleton suspended in the Djavad Mowafaghian Atrium, the third-largest fish collection in the nation, and myriad fossils, shells, insects, fungi, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and plants from around British Columbia and the world.
