Buster: BC’s Mountain Dinosaur
A travelling exhibit produced by the Royal BC Museum
May 29 – October 2026
Dig into prehistoric British Columbia and meet Buster the Ferrisaurus, the first dinosaur species known only from British Columbia. Identified in 2019 by Royal BC Museum paleontologist Dr. Victoria Arbour, this remarkable little dinosaur offers a rare glimpse into the province’s ancient past. Follow the story of how Buster was discovered along the Sustut River in 1971, what makes Ferrisaurus a unique dinosaur species, and how the Royal BC Museum is continuing the search for more dinosaurs in the northern mountains of British Columbia.
“Buster”, a Ferrisaurus sustutensis, is the first unique dinosaur species found in BC and is brought to life through a miniature sculpture and 3D-printed fossil replicas. The exhibition also showcases photos and videos of expeditions to dig sites where Buster was found.

Dust: [A Proxy For The Unheard]
January 20, 2026 – May 20, 2026
This exhibit, a collaboration between artist Ranveer Singh and the White Rock Museum & Archives, explores dust and atmospheric elements in White Rock’s history, from logging and ocean-borne materials to industrial pollution and more.
Through installation art, archival images, and museum objects, the exhibit connects visitors to the atmosphere around them and invites them to reflect on how they understand their relationship to the air that surrounds and sustains us.
