Thanks, Glenbow, for your stellar free-to-visit pop-up museum, operating in the Edison building downtown. I've brought members of the Calgary Women's Walking and Friendship Group to this mini-museum, locatecd on 9 Avenue across from the Palliser Hotel, many times. It offers a way to maintain a positive image and keep the Glenbow Museum top-of-mind thanks to exhibits that honour great artisits.

Such an interesting place to visit, lots of interesting things on display, and so much history to learn about. The permanent collections are quite good, but I also really enjoy the exhibits which change, as they it freshen things up. I recently learned about the extensive collections this museum actually holds, and I hope with the new place that they rotate more, as it’s really good to learn more about our history in Alberta, Canada, and the world.

Visited during their First Thursday of the Month free admission and it was really crowded but worth the visit! They have four floors with lots of exhibits like Calgary history, pre-historic time, Minerals, artifacts, collections and contemporary arts. It’s a good place to visit if you’re in Stephen Avenue area so you could get a little history about the city

Amazing art history museum! Beautiful exhibits highlighting deffoerent art mediums like pencil, paint and sculpture. Great inclusion of inuit and indigenous artists and culture. I especially loved the Mankind exhibit and the pencil art exhibit. Definitely worth a visit if you're in town and in mood to see some astounding art. Although, there is currently a huge renovation going on where the 3rd and 4th floors are closed, maybe even for while. Also, they need ticket reservations online with certain time slots.

Es war einfach spitze!
Das Glenbow Museum ist ein tolles Museum um mehr über Land und Leute kennen zu lernen. Die Austellungen sind auf vier Etagen verteilt und sehr sehenswert! Der Preis von 16$ für einen Erwachsenen ist total angebracht. Auch für Kinder gibt es vieles zu sehen und zu machen. Einfach VORBEISCHAUEN!

Es war eine kurzweilige Zeit um Museum. Viele schöne Exponate und interessante Geschichten. Das Besondere hier ist die Mischung zwischen historischer Geschichte und Kunstwerken verschiedener Stile. Alles sehr weitläufig und nicht überlaufen. Hier hatten wir überall Zeit alles in Ruhe zu lesen uns anzuschauen.

We were lucky as when we got to the museum they told us it was free for everyone! We thought it would be crowded, but it was not. There were plenty of people but did not feel uncomfortable, there was plenty of room for everyone to move around and look at the exhibitions. Warriors is one of our favorite exhibits. I have seen lots of armors before, but did not know how they made them, here we learned so much! Also the mineral exhibit is amazing, worthwhile visiting, kids loved it. Visiting the museum takes time, we could not see all of it, but are planning a second visit. This is a great museum!
