Reynolds Museum, Transportation museum in Wetaskiwin, Canada
Description
Reynolds Museum is a collection of vehicles, machines, and technical objects spread across a large property in Wetaskiwin. Multiple buildings and hangars display tractors, aircraft, and industrial equipment that show different eras of transportation and farming.
History
The collection started when a collector donated hundreds of objects to Alberta, leading to the museum's opening in 1992. Since then it has grown to show machines and vehicles that tell the technical history of farming and transportation in the region.
Culture
The museum holds one of North America's most complete collections of trade literature that documents how people and machines evolved together. Walking through, you can see how advertising and product manuals tell the story of technological progress in everyday life.
Practical
The property is large and best explored on foot or by car since buildings are spread across the grounds. Plan for several hours to comfortably see the different displays without rushing.
Did you know?
The museum holds a significant aircraft collection that includes a model created for a television series. This unexpected piece shows how film production and real aviation engineering sometimes overlap.
