Art Gallery of Alberta
About This Museum
Tucked right into the heart of downtown Edmonton's arts district, the Art Gallery of Alberta is a sparkling cultural hub you can't miss. Founded back in 1924, it has grown into a place where you can discover everything from classic Canadian landscapes to thought-provoking contemporary installations from across the globe. The experience is as much about the art inside as it is about the building itself—a stunning architectural marvel of twisting stainless steel ribbons and glass. It’s a dynamic space that feels both grand and inviting, making art accessible to everyone.
Collection Highlights
You'll find a strong focus on Alberta's own artistic legacy, but the gallery also surprises with its rotating exhibits of international modern art and historical pieces.
Visitor Information
It's located at 2 Sir Winston Churchill Square, so it's easy to pair with a visit to City Hall or a show at the Winspear Centre. Check their website for current exhibitions and special evening events.
