Britannia Mine Museum

As a premier non-profit organization, the Museum promotes mining awareness through entertaining, experiential education programs, historic collection preservation and insightful public engagement. Governed by the Britannia Mine Museum Society, the museum allows guests to leave with a better understanding of mining in British Columbia; past, present and future. We are proud have received TripAdvisor's Certificate of Excellence for 6 consecutive years and be recognized by the Canadian Tourism Commission as a Canadian Signature Experience. Britannia Mine museum features the iconic Mill building, a National Historic Site as well as many other exhibits and programs. We underwent significant re-branding and renovations in 2010 and have been continuing to grow and innovate ever since, including the recent launch of BOOM!, a live-action show. Our Mission is to inspire the exploration of individual and societal connections to British Columbia's mining; its past, present and future. Our Vision is to provide unique, entertaining, and memorable educational experiences that engage visitors of all ages in the spirited history of Britannia, highlighting the role of the Canadian mining industry in the past while focusing on its commitment and leadership in creating a sustainable future. Britannia Mine Museum’s ability to offer relevant, innovative, engaging and adventuresome learning opportunities has helped us draw increasing numbers of visitors from around the world, and attract a strong and diverse donor base. As a registered charity operated by a small but passionate staff team, we pride ourselves on our self-sufficiency, with our primary sources of revenue coming through memberships, admissions, site rentals, the Museum's Gift Shop, Café, and donations
