Itinerary:

The Royal Alberta Museum is one of Canada's most popular museums. Set in a park just west of downtown, the Museum offers a full range of exhibitions and activities for every age level and interest. Feature exhibitions at the Museum are changing all the time. Behind the scenes, 13 curatorial programs are responsible for building and making accessible some of the finest cultural and natural history collections in the country.

As a group, we will tour the permanent and featured exhibits of the museum:

The permanent exhibits are: Natural History Gallery, Syncrude Gallery of Aboriginal Culture, and Wild Alberta Gallery.
The feature exhibits are: Faces of Labour, Fashioning Feathers, and Winged Tapestries: Moths at Large.

There is also a special "Wolf to Woof" exhibit that will teach us about the history, biology and evolution of dogs. Click here for an interesting story about a Samoyed/husky cross' special talent. The event pic above is of Sheena (the Samoyed/husky cross), who has epilepsy and can also sense oncoming seizures in people.

To find me, I'll be at the entrance wearing my yellow EOC baseball cap. You can also check out my profile pic too.

Required Items to Bring:
$11 for admission to the museum (I think it will be 1/2 off though so $5.50 for adults)
