This magnificent building is the oldest and grandest natural history museum
in Western Canada. Built in 1903, it is the home of more than 5,000 natural
history specimens with exhibits and displays that reflect the museum’s original
Edwardian grandeur.
This turn-of-the-century taxidermy collection continues to thrill visitors to Banff National Park curious about the mammals, birds, insects and fish found in the Canadian Rockies. Guaranteed bear sightings, a hands on discovery room, and knowledgeable Parks Canada staff on site make this an excellent destination for visitors of all ages. The site is open year-round and is located on Banff Avenue in Banff, Alberta.
