“The Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2022” exhibit at the Royal BC Museum is awesome!

 by Keith and Heather Nicol

The latest exhibit at the Royal BC Museum (RBCM) is well worth taking in and you have about 1 more month to view it. The Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2022 exhibit  is now in its 58^th year and closes at the RBCM on April 16, 2023. We have seen past “Wildlife Photographer” shows at the Royal BC Museum and it is put together by London England’s Natural History Museum.  The jury for this exhibit shifts through close to 50,000 images submitted from over 100 countries around the globe so this really is the best of the best!  Pictured below are some of the images we enjoyed. Admission to the exhibit also includes access to the Natural History of BC Gallery which features BC’s amazingly diverse ecosystems and how they formed.  Also coming up at the RBCM is an exhibit of Dinosaurs of BC, SUE:The T rex Experience, and Angkor – The Lost Expire of Cambodia.
