Royal Alberta Museum
About This Museum
People wander into the Royal Alberta Museum for all sorts of reasons—maybe they're chasing a dinosaur dream or just escaping the Edmonton cold. But they always stay for the stories. You can stand face-to-face with a towering Albertosaurus, then turn a corner and feel the quiet dignity of a fully reconstructed Blackfoot tipi, its painted designs telling of generations on these plains. It’s that journey, from deep time to living cultures and right up to our modern wildlife, that really sticks with you. By the time you leave, you don't just know more about Alberta; you feel a part of its long, unfolding story.
Collection Highlights
The Syncrude Gallery of Aboriginal Culture is a profound experience, while the Wild Alberta hall feels like a walk through our backcountry. And of course, there are the fossil giants in the Ancient Alberta exhibit.
