The Pacific Museum of Earth (PME) is UBC's earth science museum. It features:

• an 80-million-year-old Lambeosauras dinosaur skeleton
• collections of minerals, rocks, and fossils from around the world
• a secure precious minerals vault
• a tornado machine
• a dinosaur egg
• amber encased insects.

The PME was founded in 2003 and offers tours for students, kindergarten through grade 12, and a teachers’ resource centre, which contains resources and materials intended to assist with teaching earth science in the classroom. It also contains a gift shop.
