About the Book
The second volume in a series of guidebooks designed for kids and families looking for museum adventures throughout British Columbia.
Go on… be a time traveller, an anthropologist, an archeologist, an artist, or an explorer! Be everything at once! When you visit a museum, you enter an amazing world where you are limited only by your imagination. The books in the Time to Wonder series give adventurous families a backstage pass to explore behind the scenes in regional museums throughout British Columbia.
Once again, all will be revealed with the help of dozens of colour photographs, regional maps, lists of activities, historical information, and interviews with a team of amazing experts who specialize in a variety of island locations off the coast of British Columbia. Whether families are experienced museumgoers or just curious about something new, this is a book they will read over and over.
