Calgary - Glenbow Museum

A footbridge leads from the municipal theatre to the Calgary Convention Center and to the Glenbow Museum. In the museum can be seen some rare exhibits illustrating the historical development of western Canada, covering the time of the early fur-hunters and the arrival of the North West Mounted Police, as well as the Métis uprising under Louis Riel. The development of the oil industry is also catered for.

As well as personal effects belonging to the pioneers who came here from all over the world there are artistic and everyday items left by the Indians, including the Ojibwa, the Cree and some prairie tribes and the Inuit. Particularly impressive is the leather tepee of the Blackfoot tribe.
The Glenbow Museum also hosts Temporary Exhibitions from around the world.
