We celebrate 50 years as a museum and an iconic landmark of the Sea-to-Sky Corridor.

We are celebrating Heritage Week with the Britannia Mine Museum!

In 1975, the Britannia Mine Museum opened its doors for the first summer season. Now, in 2025, we celebrate 50 years as a museum and an iconic landmark of the Sea-to-Sky Corridor.

 

Join Laura Minta Holland, Curator at the Britannia Mine Museum, for an engaging presentation offering a sneak peek into the Museum’s upcoming special summer exhibition. Plus, share your own museum memories in an open discussion reflecting on the past five decades of history, community, and discovery.

Doors will open at 5:30pm and the presentation will begin at 6:00pm.
