Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies
Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies Review
This small museum features paintings by Canadian Rockies artists, such as J. B. Taylor, which help to interpret the majesty of the mountains. A new interactive exhibit, Gateway to the Rockies, opened in May 2012. This permanent exhibit tells the story of the Canadian Rockies through artifacts, artwork, and photographs, and includes a cool life-size helicopter.
