Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum

The Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum is a natural history museum in Wembley that focuses on fossils from the Late Cretaceous period. The collection is enriched by discoveries made through scientific excavations in the surrounding area.

A teacher named Al Lakusta discovered an important fossil site at Pipestone Creek in 1974, which was then extensively excavated. These findings form the foundation of the museum's collection.

The museum shows how dinosaurs have shaped people's understanding of ancient worlds for generations. Visitors can see how fossils from local discoveries tell stories about these creatures.

The museum opens on specific days of the week, while the attached café operates on different days. When planning your visit, it helps to check the opening days ahead of time and set aside enough time to explore the exhibits.

The museum's theatre holds a special license to screen films from a major documentary organization, setting it apart from other museums. This makes it a distinct venue for film experiences alongside the exhibits.
