Itinerary:

The Royal Alberta Museum opened in 1967, and showcases the natural and cultural heritage of Alberta. If you haven't visited the museum, this will be an excellent chance to learn more about our province.

As a group, we will tour the permanent galleries and featured exhibitions in the museum:

The Syncrude Gallery of Aboriginal Culture displays the history of the First Peoples' of North America.
The Wild Alberta gallery teaches us about the wild creatures of this province.
The Natural History Gallery teaches about the rocks, minerals and fossils found under our feet. This gallery also contains the ever-popular "Bug Room".
We will also hopefully have a chance to check out the "Lost Ship, Recovered Voyages" exhibition, a new feature exhibit (opening May 29th), which displays artifacts recovered from the Empress of Ireland, an ocean liner that sank in the St. Laurence River in 1914. See here for more on the Empress of Ireland.
