The Military Museums

Région touristique : Calgary

Explore Western Canada's largest military museum as you re-live tragedy to triumph, tyranny to liberation and commitment to sacrifice of the men and women of Southern Alberta. The Military Museums is a nationally acclaimed facility dedicated to educating the general public, in particular youth, about Canada's military history. We offer research facilities in partnership with the University of Calgary, educational programming, a lecture series, temporary and permanent exhibitions, family events as well as boardroom, theatre and Queen Elizabeth II atrium facilities. In November of 2007, The Military Museums will re-open a new and expanded dynamic 107,000 square foot museum that will be the largest of the 68 military museums owned by DND in Canada. New in 2008 will be a relocated Naval Museum of Alberta, a new Air Force Museum, an expanded military history and Strategic Studies center of excellence, an extensive archives area, an art gallery and a large technology-based Discovery Room.
