The Glenbow is a great Calgary museum. It has a ton of interesting constant and changing exhibits. You can spend a fair amount of time at the museum as it is so large.

One of Canada's great museums, and Western Canada's largest, this treasure trove houses artifacts of the West, dating back to the first white settlers of the 1800s and the history of the area's First Nations. Along with permanent displays, a variety of temporary exhibitions is also presented. Visitors also enjoy an art gallery and archives on site. Property Information by Wcities
