Like a dinner party murder mystery, an upcoming event features lies and intrigue, but without the morbid element.
The Royal B.C. MuseumB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s Artifact or Artifiction event returns, with party-goers squaring off against museum curators, collections managers and archivists, to decide whether stories told about 20 of the museumB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s strangest items are true or false.
Proceeds from the evening go toward educational programs, exhibits and research.
Last yearB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s event raised $90,000.
B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ· anchor Tony Parsons will emcee the Oct. 6 event. Tickets, $150, are available at www.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/gala or by calling 250-387-7222.
