for Calgary. We like it, good for kids. It is always interesting to learn new "old" things.

I would highly recommend a visit to the new permanent Maverick's exhibit at the museum, showcasing big names and events from Alberta's past.

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
