Drumheller Valley Interpretive Centre (formerly Drumheller Dinosaur & Fossil Museum)
In addition to a collection of minerals and some Indian exhibits the main emphasis is on bones and skeletons of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals.
The Drumheller Valley Interpretive Centre opened in the 1960s when it was called the Drumheller Dinosaur & Fossil Museum. It was the first such museum in the area but in recent days the museum, now the Interpretive Centre has reshaped itself.
