Ring of Time

Visitors to the history gallery in the Royal BC Museum can follow the Ring of Time, delving deeper into history as they follow the circular path from the 20th century around to the arrival of Captain Vancouver's ship, Discovery. Historian Peter Corley-Smith describes the creation of this and the other exhibition galleries in the Royal BC Museum (then called BC Provincial Museum). He captures the excitement of the creative spirit as scientists and artists embark on an adventure to build one of the most renowned museums in North America - not just the exhibitions, but the collection and research facilities and systems behind the scene. This is both a lucid record and a plain good read.Corley-Smith, Peter is the author of 'Ring of Time' with ISBN 9780771884283 and ISBN 0771884281.
