Living history: Edmonton museums worth visiting
Opened in its original location in 1967, the Royal Alberta is now in a temporary building while its new home is being built. The new building will allow the museum to display more of its extensive collection, much of which is currently housed off-site. The museum is lauded for many reasons, including being the first to conduct a huge excavation of a fossilized prairie dog colony; holding the biggest public collection of early fur trade artifacts from western Canada; having the largest collection of mounted birds in Canada; and its Bug Room, the first live invertebrate gallery in western Canada.
