Rock Show is a new exhibition at the Kamloops Museum and Archives celebrating the beauty and mystery of rocks.

Featuring specimens from the museum’s mineral collection and insights from local geologists, the exhibition reveals how knowledge about the natural world is discovered, recorded, and shared.

A large magnetic photo adorns the walls of the Kamloops Museum. In this space, we encourage all our guests to be loud and learn boldly. We invite you to dive into the Children's Museum, engaging with the exhibits hands-on and exploring through touch.
