The Glenbow is an exceedingly pleasing space and is not only a museum but also a first-rate art gallery with many interesting visiting shows. It also has a wonderful gift shop.
A beautiful peaceful place, good facilities for elderly and wonderful exhibits. I liked that it was easy to get around and plenty of places to sit and enjoy the exhibits.
The one and only thing about calgary I thought was terrible.We got in for free as it was family day but still wanted a refund.
Went to see Oh, Canada! exhibit and realized the exhibit is actually split over 4 galleries! The asian collections were interesting to me, as well as historical, but they are not very large collections. The visit was much shorter than we anticipated - you can go through the museum rather quickly.
You will want to spend at least the day here. So much history plus a huge rock and armor collection. The last time I was there they had an art collection, The gift shop sells some amazing stuff as well. The Museum is in the downtown core and easily accessible by the city transit.
I love this place! There are 4 floors of unique and incredible sights.I'd strongly recommend looking into the feature exhibit ahead of time though. On my most recent visit, the feature exhibit did not interest me at all, while prior exhibits definitely appealed to me much more.A fantastic place for both people of all ages!
Some very nice and well-laid out exhibits.Wife and I went on Family Day, when Chevron Canada sponsored free entry to the museum.Even over-run with kids, exhibits were easy to see and move around.You're definitely going to need some time to see everything though. We spent quite a lot of time on the second floor in the Asian sculpture exhibit, and ran out of time. Definitely going to go back.
我们在那里面呆了大约两个半小时,仍然没有把所有的东西都看遍。在博物馆,展示了卡尔加里地区的历史,包括原住民的历史和生活方式、石油和天然气工业的发展,还将宝石/岩石/水晶的展示与艺术、摄影展览相结合,是非常非常不错的组合。在我们此次参观中,最精彩的部分是展示了一名叫福瑞德·赫索格的小伙子拍摄的照片,他从20世纪50年代起主要在温哥华专门从事街景拍摄。在这之前,从来没有听说他,但是这些照片真是太棒了。
It is a large scale local museum with myriad of subjects and history of the region. To have a knowledge about the former days of western Canada, minerals, aboriginal communities and such, this may be a good opportunity to visit this museum. it is obviously good and beneficial for kids. It is located at the Calgary city center.
位于9号街东南的卡尔加里塔对面,这里是加拿大最大的博物馆之一。每次只要花14美元买一张成人票,我就可以把背包存在存包区。第一次来的时候我参观了查理拉塞尔的艺术展和为了庆祝卡尔加里牛仔节而举行的第一届卡尔加里牛仔节。原来在1912年这个小有名气的牛仔艺术家就已经在第一届牛仔节上展览自己的绘画作品。这次展览会包括他当时展览过的20部作品。作品中包括唯美的西方风景画,各种现实主义作品如第一民族成员,牧场主,牛仔,罪犯等。很值得一看,但是不允许拍照。我第二次去参观的时候,看到了展览“矿物世界的宝藏”(Treasures of the Mineral World)。这是一个关于加拿大和世界各地的美丽岩石和矿藏的永久展览,规模巨大,颜色绚丽,引人入胜。我参观过程中还看到过当地的老师在教学生们画这些水晶的素描。说到有趣的事情,这个博物馆真是无所不有!
