The Britannia Mine Museum is a self-sustaining, non-profit organization, that creates accessible learning experiences to inspire discovery and connection through guided interpretive programming, self-exploration opportunities, and the preservation of our historical site and artifacts. 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. 

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 launch of BOOM!, a multi-sensory show, in 2019.

Our Vision is to deliver an entertaining; world class experience that encourages an informed understanding of mining and its' impact to the environment, communities and sustainability.

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.
