Discover the stories behind the architecture of the Royal Alberta Museum during this free Architecture and Design Tour, presented as part of the Doors Open Festival.
Led by an experienced guide, the tour explores the inspiration, symbolism, and design elements that make the museum a landmark in Alberta. Guests will learn about the meaning behind the silver lines throughout the lobby, the iconic curved staircase, the decorative steel panels, and the unique shape of the building—all inspired by Alberta's landscapes, people, and history.
Designed primarily for adult visitors, the tour offers a fascinating look at architectural details that are often overlooked. Weather permitting, portions of the experience will take place outdoors. Please note that this tour does not include admission to the museum galleries.
