Royal Alberta Museum
Western Canada's largest museum, covering Alberta's natural and human history.
About Royal Alberta Museum
In downtown Edmonton, the Royal Alberta Museum has huge galleries on Alberta's natural and cultural history, a children's gallery and a live bug room. It's a great rainy-day stop.
A brief history
The Government of Alberta established it in December 1967 as the Provincial Museum of Alberta. It received royal patronage and was renamed the Royal Alberta Museum in 2005. The new downtown building opened to the public in October 2018.
