Paintings, plants and people

The triumphant architecture of the Art Gallery of Alberta is a masterpiece in itself, housing local and international exhibitions. Explore the unique collections of the Royal Alberta Museum. Travel back in time at historic Fort Edmonton Park, where many feature films set in the old west have been shot.
