SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: Travelling the Alberni Inlet
DESCRIPTION:Before road networks reached the region in the 1950s\, the Alberni Inlet served as a lifeline for communities between Port Alberni and the coast\, transporting people\, goods\, and resources. \n\n\n\nTravelling the Alberni Inlet highlights the enduring importance of 20th-century maritime transportation from the age of steamships to the present day. Central to the exhibit is a focus on the vessels\, including the Canadian Pacific Railway’s Princess Maquinna and the 1958-built MV Frances Barkley\, the latter of which continues to serve remote communities along the inlet to this day. \n\n\n\nAnd that’s not all… \n\n\n\nAlso on view: Under 60 Tons\, a documentary-style photo memoir by Reave Dennison that captures life aboard Pacific Northwest tugboats. Shot over nine years on 35mm film and hand-processed\, these images reveal the grit\, solitude\, and raw beauty of coastal work. \n\n\n\nBoth exhibits run until November 2\, 2025.

SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: Pacific in Peril: Climate Change\, the Warming Ocean\, and How to Turn the Tide
DESCRIPTION:To live on the coast is to be influenced by the ocean every day. Many make their living on the water. It is a source of food\, and a way of transporting people and goods. It drives changes to our weather. So\, what happens when climate change starts to affect a body of water as large as the Pacific Ocean?   \n\n\n\nClimate change isn’t only warming the ocean. It’s also leading to acidification\, causing coastal erosion\, raising sea levels\, and expanding areas of deoxygenation. The results are rippling through the entire ecosystem.   \n\n\n\nWhile we don’t always see it\, the ocean plays a key role in carbon sequestration and could be our greatest ally in the fight against climate change. Efforts have already started to boost the power of the Pacific.   \n\n\n\nIf you love the ocean as much as we do\, join us at the Maritime Museum of BC as we explore what climate change could mean for the Pacific and what we can do to help protect it now and for future generations.

SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: No Walk in the Woods: The History of the West Coast Trail
DESCRIPTION:A landscape of forbidding bluffs and nearly impassible brush\, punctuated by the ominous sound of crashing waves\, hardly seems like the route to salvation for anyone escaping a sinking ship. For those unlucky enough to find themselves in just that situation along the unforgiving southwestern edge of Vancouver Island\, the rough trail over slick rocks and fallen trees may have been their only chance. \n\n\n\nThe 75 kilometer stretch of coastline from Bamfield to Port Renfrew has evolved from a narrow telegraph track carved into the woods to one of the most popular hiking destinations in less than a century. \n\n\n\nCome along with us as we follow the rain-soaked path from the tragic wreck of the S.S. Valencia\, that led to the creation of the lifesaving trail\, to the stories of adventurers who brave the modern-day West Coast Trail. Meet some of the characters who devoted themselves to helping others\, sometimes at great personal cost\, and learn what was done to try to prevent a small portion of the Graveyard of the Pacific from claiming even more lives.
