The Royal British Columbia Museum, Victoria, British Columbia
My man and I visited the Royal British Columbia Museum awhile back, and I’ve neglected to write about it. Which is shameful because it was quite delightful wandering through it! First off, you guys should probably understand I’m not the *best* when it comes to museums.
