Current Exhibitions:
Seeds in Disguise: The Biology and Lore of Ornamental Seeds
February 23 - May 16, 2010
Explore the Ordinary...
Seeds are all around us: we eat them; we plant them; they parachute from dandelions; they catch in the dog's coat or on your socks; they drop from the trees; and sometimes they even hang around your neck. This exhibition featrures ornamental seeds "disguised" as beads in jewellery, trinkets and ornaments.
Seeds, like people, have many interesting facts to their complex biology. Travel, chemistry, medicine and industry are part of the stories of the ornamental seeds in this exhibition. Beware- some seeds are dangerous!
St. Albert: This Is Our Story
This permanent exhibit tells the story of St. Albert, from the beautiful natural setting that first attracted the aboriginal peoples and the Metis settlers, to the founding of the mission by Father Lacombe and the growth of the community.
Les Francophones en Alberta: Courage ét determination
Les Francophones en Alberta: Courage ét determination tells the story of the French in Alberta based on the holdings of the Provincial Archives of Alberta. The exhibit traces the history of the French Albertans through its association, both economic and cultural, its religious work, and its early pioneering work.
Discovery Room
