Throughout the month of November, Story Theatre Company will be taking audiences on a theatrical journey back to the early years of the First World War. The production uses letters from the front, music of the era, and other archival material from the Royal BC Museum. After the show, actors will stay in costume and encourage audience interaction. 

The Canadian War Museum has created a visually stunning website chronicling the Canada during the War. The site is easy to navigate and takes you step-by-step in chronological order the events before, during, and after the Great War. It also features specific artifacts from the Museum's collection and lesson plans relevant to different grades.

Students who participate in this program will explore the Natural History Gallery of the museum through the lens of change. Students will be encouraged to ask questions and think critically about how British Columbia has changed over the years and what our province's future will look like.

Forced Perspective is a fun photo trick with or without nature! It's an optical illusion to make an object appear farther away, closer, smaller or larger than it really is. We tried it out during our spring break camp last year and had a lot of fun. How do you think these two boys made their photo? Why not try out forced perspective for yourself!

Students who participate in this program will have access to dive deep into the Museum's temporary exhibit gallery Wildlife Photographer of the Year. Students will be encouraged to ask questions and think critically about what makes a great photograph and learn how to compose a great shot of their own. 

The magazine National Geographic is known for its stunning images of the world around us. But did you know the first wildlife photographs were not featured until the July 1906 issue? The single-article issue titled "Hunting Wild Game With Flashlight and Camera" featured 74 wildlife photographs taken by George Shiras III. 

In 2013, BC's Connor Stefanison won the Eric Hosking Portfolio Award for his outstanding collection of wildlife photography. The interview also features the 14-year-old Udayan Rao Pawar who won that year's Young Wildlife Photographer Award. In this video, both photographers share their experiences and techniques for taking a winning photo.
