North of the Edmonton city center the institute known as the Ukrainian Canadian Archives & Museum of Alberta was first established. This building, with a collection of documents relating to numerous Ukrainian pioneers who labored under the harshest of conditions to contribute in no small degree to the opening up of the prairies of Alberta, was determined to be inadequate.

Must-see attractions nearby:
A study revealed that the building was beyond renovations and consequently a new location was located to house the Ukrainian Canadian Archives and Museum of Alberta. The former Lodge Hotel and the Brighton Block were purchased to be renovated and used to house the museum's collection.

Typical dress and traditional musical instruments are on display in the current museum. Further exhibits bear witness to the rich religious and cultural customs of this ethnic group. Check with the museum for updates on when the move to the new location will take place.
