The Pacific Museum of Earth is a free, public museum at the University of British Columbia operated by the Faculty of Science, housing nearly 100 years of combined mineral and fossil collections alongside exhibits spanning geology, oceanography, atmospheric science, and deep time. Visitors can touch real dinosaur bones, explore the forces shaping the planet, and experience galleries spread across two adjacent campus buildings. In 2026, the museum is a designated stamp stop in the UBC Tourism Challenge, making it a worthwhile detour for cyclists exploring the UBC campus.
