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, the Glenbow Museum presents a variety of temporary exhibitions. Visitors also enjoy an art gallery and archives on site.
