“Pretty Old Things”
The delightful, the charming, the unique.
But also, the pretty, the old, and the pretty old.
Visit the QB Museum to experience an enchanting snapshot of the museum’s collections. Rarely-seen, this collection of unique objects will transport you to a historically decadent time!
Many of the objects on display have never been exhibited, and include clothing, jewelry, and portraiture. These items and their stories provide a sneak peek into the ‘treasure chest’ that is the Qualicum Beach Museum.
On display June 10 – September 13, 2025.
