Calgary Museums & Galleries

The heart of Calgary is red ... the scarlet red of the North West Mounted Police tunic. When the NWMP built their fort at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow Rivers in 1875, they laid the foundations for the city we enjoy today. Discover the hopes and dreams of the Mounted Police and Calgary from 1875-1914 in a lively Interpretive Centre located on the 40 acres of parkland.

The Art Gallery of Calgary is a non-profit public art gallery. We help make art part of everyday life by creating opportunities for people to actively participate in the cultural life of their community. The AGC's exciting offering of education and public programs provide the public with opportunities to discover contemporary art, interact with contemporary artists and express themselves through art.
