Glenbow Museum, Art and history museum in downtown Calgary, Canada

The Glenbow Museum is an art and history museum in downtown Calgary, across from the Calgary Tower. Its eight-storey, 23,225-square-metre building, completed in 1976, is clad in light tan concrete blocks, with narrow recessed windows near the top and a projecting band of dark vertical fins across the mid-level. Two dark signs reading "GLENBOW MUSEUM" are mounted at the corner.

Eric Lafferty Harvie founded the Glenbow Foundation in 1955, named after his ranch and a nearby CPR station, to collect and preserve Western Canadian art, documents and artifacts. In 1966 he donated his collection to the people of Alberta as a centennial gift, and the Legislative Assembly passed the act creating the Glenbow-Alberta Institute on April 15, 1966. An eight-storey building across from the Calgary Tower opened on September 22, 1976.

The museum's name comes from Eric Harvie's ranch and the nearby Canadian Pacific Railway station east of Cochrane. Its ethnology collection holds about 48,000 items used by Indigenous peoples of the North American Plains, Northwest Coast, Arctic and Subarctic, and its cultural-history collection exceeds 100,000 objects from many parts of the world.

The museum closed for renovations in 2021 and is scheduled to re-open in 2027. The building stands downtown across from the Calgary Tower, its tan concrete facade marked by the Glenbow signs at the corner. Admission has been free since February 2022, funded by a $25 million Shaw Family Foundation donation.

The museum's collection grew from items owners considered "junk": Eric Harvie gathered Western Canadian artifacts when few others wanted them, and bought the entire Banff studio of wildlife artist Carl Rungius, eventually holding 2,600 of his works.
