Alberta families will be able to visit many of Alberta’s historic sites and museums, including the Royal Tyrrell Museum, for free as the province celebrates Alberta Culture Days, September 25-27.
Alberta Culture Days is part of the national Culture Days movement. It includes more than 800 communities, from coast to coast, and is helping to increase the awareness, accessibility, participation and engagement of Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities.
“Alberta Culture Days is a celebration of our province’s art, heritage and communities. I encourage all Albertans to get out and visit one of our historic sites or museums. This is a perfect opportunity to share Alberta’s culture with more people, and grow a stronger appreciation for all the things that make this province great,” David Eggen, Minister of Culture and Tourism.
There are all kinds of activities at the Tyrrell this weekend including Dinosite, a visit to a site to search for fossils, the Seven Wonders of the Badlands guided tour, and the ever popular Storytime, to name a few.
