Tourism minister would like to see more access to third floor by summer.

There was lots of background during a media tour on Monday about how sensitive and complicated the Royal B.C. Museum’s closed-off third floor is.

That turned into a fiasco and it was abandoned weeks later. An extensive consultation on what to do next is now underway that could last for years. She cited numerous logistic and curatorial factors, “but I think there’s a lot of sadness generally, in this community, because it’s a place where people went quite often… I think there’s an opportunity to get things up and open for people.The exact timing she left to the RBCM board and CEO Alicia Dubois, who was alongside and conducted most of the tour.

“We have a number of diverse communities who’ve never had an opportunity to consistently be the one who tells their own story.”
