Shake Up: Preserving What We Value- Museum of Surrey


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 06/05/2021
Science, Indigenous knowledge and pop culture unite to address 'the big one.' As the highest risk earthquake zone in Canada, rumblings of 'the big one' have haunted the minds of Lower Mainland residents for years. This exhibit marries science with ancient Indigenous knowledge, highlighting earthquake safe architecture and preparedness. Earthquakes in pop culture tie it all together to keep us all grounded.

Immersive Experiences

With something for all ages, the exhibit will feature an earthquake sound yurt, as well as a simulated drive down a San Fransisco street just after the 1906 quake. Featuring never-before-seen footage, experience the aftermath of a real earthquake.


A Collaboration Between Museums

Shake Up: Preserving What We Value was originally developed by the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia. To complement the multi-media installations, MOS has added Surrey specific content and items from the Heritage Surrey Collection.

How to Prepare for an Earthquake

In an earthquake, sound usually precedes any ground movement by a split second. This is followed by shaking that can last from several seconds to several minutes. Over the following hours or days, aftershocks may occur. Learn more about earthquake preparedness
