Explore the stories of our dynamic Earth
The Pacific Museum of Earth is a free, public museum at the University of British Columbia, located within the Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences (EOAS). We connect research, collections, and people through engaging exhibits and programs that explore how our planet works—across geology, oceanography, atmospheric science, planetary science, and beyond.
As one of EOAS’s primary public outreach spaces, the museum brings Earth science into conversation with the issues shaping our world today—from natural hazards to resource use to environmental change. We work with students, educators, and the wider community to make Earth science relevant, accessible, and meaningful.
Step into deep time and explore 4.5 billion years of Earth’s history. Touch a real dinosaur bone, discover how minerals power the technology you use every day, and learn how scientists study everything from earthquakes to climate systems. Whether you’re here for a quick visit or a deeper dive, the museum invites you to explore, ask questions, and see our planet in new ways.
