Galt Museum & Archives, Regional history museum in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada

The Galt Museum and Archives is a regional museum in Lethbridge housing more than 20,000 objects and 300,000 documents. The collections tell the story of southwestern Alberta's development through permanent and temporary exhibitions.

A Scientific and Historical Society formed in Lethbridge in October 1888, but the first civic museum opened only in 1964 in three rooms of the former Bowman Elementary School. Within three years it moved into the former Galt Hospital, and after an $8.9 million expansion the museum reopened on 6 May 2006 as the Galt Museum & Archives.

In 2022, local Niitsitapi Elders gave the museum the Blackfoot name Akaisamitohkanao'pa, which means eternal gathering place. This name reflects how the community views the institution today.

Visitors can book research appointments to examine photographs, documents, and recorded interviews from the collections. Both public and private archives are available for those interested in detailed study.

The museum's Blackfoot name, Akaisamitohkanao'pa, meaning 'eternal gathering place', was conferred in 2022 by Niitsitapi Elders Bruce Wolf Child and Mary Fox. The naming marks a step in the museum's work with the local Blackfoot community.
