Whyte Museum, Heritage museum in Banff, Canada.
The Whyte Museum features art galleries, archives, and heritage collections across 29,000 square feet of exhibition space in downtown Banff.
Peter and Catharine Whyte established their foundation in 1958, leading to the museum's opening in 1968 with the Archives of the Canadian Rockies.
The museum maintains six historic buildings and preserves 17,500 objects related to Indigenous peoples, explorers, climbers, and local residents of the Rocky Mountains.
Visitors can access the archives and special collections from Tuesday to Friday, with guided tours available during summer months through the exhibition spaces.
The museum holds records of the Alpine Club of Canada and houses the Windy cabin from 1911, representing early National Parks Warden Service operations.
