Royal Alberta Museum
First things first: There aren't many dinosaurs at the Royal Alberta Museum. For dinosaurs, you have to go to the RAM's sister museum – the Royal Tyrell Museum – in Drumheller. Or at least across the lane to Alberta's Government House, where the provincial cabinet meets.
What you will find at the RAM are galleries and exhibitions that are classic and contemporary, eternal and engaging at the same time.
The RAM's contrast with the Art Gallery of Alberta couldn't be more obvious:
The revamped AGA is cool and ultra-modern in an urban renewal setting. The museum, on the other hand, seems like an historic manor house that is part of the landscape. When you enter into the main hall, you half-expect a huge fireplace and a warm fire.
