Glenbow Museum


The Glenbow Museum is one of the largest museums's in Western Canada. Established in 1966, it has over 20 galleries with all sorts of different art pieces from all over the world. The Glenbow also has a library that contains over 100,00 reading sources like books, newspapers, and maps.


There are quite a few interesting exhibits currently at the museum. Since many exhibits travel throughout many different museum's, you have to take the opportunity to view these pieces before they leave. Some of the few exhibits currently at the Glenbow are:

-Fairy Tales and Monsters and the Genetic Imagination: "Inspired by literature, science fiction and scientific genetic experimentation, leading international artists have conceived fantastical humanlike, animal or hybrid creatures to symbolize life's mysteries, desires and fears."

-Florilegeium: Works by Calgary Artist Jennifer Wanner. These mainly include pieces made by all sorts of plants.

There are constant new pieces showing up at the Glenbow Museum, so keep checking back to their website and find out what new and interesting pieces will be coming that year.
