Banff Park Museum
© Parks Canada |
This magnificent building is the oldest and
grandest natural history museum in Western
Canada. Built in 1903, it is the home of more than
5,000 natural history specimens with exhibits
and displays that reflect the museum’s original
Edwardian grandeur. This turn-of-the-century
taxidermy collection continues to thrill visitors
to Banff National Park curious about the
mammals, birds, insects and fish found in
the Canadian Rockies.
Guaranteed bear sightings, a hands on discovery
room, and knowledgeable Parks Canada staff on
site make this an excellent destination for visitors
of all ages.
The site is open year-round and is located on
Banff Avenue in Banff, Alberta.
