What travellers are saying
- Metis galChilliwack, Canada307 contributionsThis is a very interesting Museum. We enjoyed all the art work and the Authentic Historical pieces on display. The amount of catalogued Cultural History here is staggering. One could spend days on going through the archives all about the Rocky Mountains. Very well done.
We did not get to see the historic log homes due to time constraints.Written October 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There was much more here than I expected.Written October 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- JyssSaint Paul, MN638 contributionsStopped here on a really cold day as a break to warm up. It's includes in the discovery pass if you have it otherwise it was fairly inexpensive. Lots of taxidermy and a fairly small space. It was interesting to see all the different birds and the very well preserved animals. They do not add to collection anymore in the same manner they collected a hundred years ago. Only took about 45 minutes to see everything.Written January 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Ben BCalgary, Canada14,103 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.

- 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.
