Royal BC Museum launches music exhibit on change and resistance

The Royal BC Museum launched a new exhibition on May 30 in Victoria that explores how music has played a vital role in movements for social justice and activism.
The exhibit builds on content about British Columbia’s punk scene and Indigenous resurgence music, inspired by stories like Paul Robeson’s 1952 denied Canadian entry.
The exhibition includes artefacts from 112 artists, such as Chuck D’s Public Enemy jacket and John Lennon’s 1965 Rolls-Royce limousine, showcasing diverse resistance histories.
Jodi Giesbrecht described the event as an act of unity that transcended national boundaries, emphasizing how music can overcome geographic and political divisions.
Running until January 5, the exhibit invites visitors to explore how music shapes identity, challenges norms, and unites communities through shared stories.
