Gulf of Georgia Museum
Steveston, BC. CAN
An Historic Museum That Lights Up A Long-Silent Cannery
The Gulf Of Georgia Museum is, a national historic site exhibit, located inside an actual cannery in British Columbia’s Steveston Cannery district, itself a heritage site. 3DS restored and showcased a number of original artifacts, recreated others, developed interpretive displays and staged all of it in this long-inactive canning facility.
The museum’s centerpiece is a massive interactive map exhibit, made of solid wood and wired with LED lights. Shown on the map are the three remaining canneries that comprise BC’s entire canning industry today. A push of a button activates an array of lights that show the more than one hundred canneries originally in operation throughout the province, a century ago.
