Art Gallery of Alberta

The Art Gallery of Alberta is an art museum in downtown Edmonton that displays contemporary and historical works. The space contains multiple exhibition areas where visitors can view artworks in various media.

The museum was founded in 1924 as an arts institution for the city. A major redesign in the 2010s gave the building its current structure and appearance.

The gallery displays works by contemporary artists from Canada and around the world that visitors encounter as they move through the space. The pieces shown reflect different artistic approaches and invite people to form their own responses.

The museum has a restaurant and shop area where visitors can get refreshments and souvenirs. The whole building is accessible for people using wheelchairs, and there is also a venue space for events.

The building has a striking exterior design with curved stainless steel parts and glass patterns. This form was inspired by the Northern Lights and the river that flows beside the site.
