[BCMA] BC Museums Week: Building the Future of History Project and the Maritime Museum of BC Webinar

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

*BC Museums Week: Building the Future of History Project and the Maritime
Museum of BC Webinar*

BC Museums Week is back! For 2025, our theme is “Building the Future.” Last
year, we highlighted stories and conversations to "Imagine the Future," and
in 2025, the BCMA is highlighting members who are actively building a new
future within their community.

*Thursday, May 15th, 12:00pm*

After years of searching for a new home, the Maritime Museum of British
Columbia (MMBC) is exploring an exciting new opportunity to return to
Victoria’s iconic Inner Harbour. In collaboration with the Esquimalt and
Songhees Nations, a proposal has been put forward to create a new,
dual-purpose historical site that would reshape how coastal history is
presented. Tentatively called “The Future of History," this project
envisions a re-imagined Steamship Building and an adjoining floating
structure that would be dedicated to the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations.

Join the BCMA and the Maritime Museum of BC to learn about the Future of
History Project, how it came to be, the collaborative partnerships, and
what happens next!
