What travellers are saying
- platypus150Melbourne, Australia27,371 contributionsWhen I visited there were three main themes: a bird art exhibition, tourism history, and the Whytes own paintings. All were great visually. I was a bit disappointed in the tourism one as the view broadcast was: "we came here and we found this and now will bring everyone to see it." Little concern about those who were here for 10,000 years and knew all about it.Written September 16, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SJHOttawa226 contributionsIf you like architecture its very beautiful. If you have a pass you should go, learned some science stuff.

- kiHannibal, MO9 contributionsA real treasure. All of the family’s original things. Lynne the docent was welcoming and so knowledgeable. What a fun find. Donations appreciated. This family was a big part of Banff history. Daughter had 4 college degrees and lived in the house until her death 1994 or 1995. She set up a foundation to preserve the house and history. Amazing family.Written June 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ben BCalgary, Canada14,382 contributionsTucked away in the lower floor of Glyde Hall is this great place that exhibits amazing contemporary art. The halls are very spacious with great lighting, and they get fascinating shows in. We were at the Banff Centre to take in the Mountain Film Festival, and popped in to see was on offer. Staff were helpful and friendly, and very campy exhibit really complemented the films at the festival.Written November 18, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BobHLeverettMelbourne, Australia2 contributionsVisited this gallery late summer 2019 when it first opened in the morning. The selections available in the gallery are varied and interesting. All seemed to be of high quality. The owners were friendly, interactive and very helpful. There is a fine selection of black and white photography produced by one of the owners. The experience was excellent. This is certainly a gallery that is well worth a visit and not to be missed when you are in Banff.Written December 26, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
