Museums always show some bits and pieces that we wouldn’t find out otherwise, very interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Bev,

I had a few Calgary natives tell us the same thing. It seems like it wasn’t very well advertised, but you can’t miss it when you drive by.

It’s an absolute classic art form. It’s a shame they no longer do it.

Mary, I could have stared at the mural for hours if I had the time.

That mural and the fact that it is interactive is incredible.. it’s not the same as actually being at the actual museum but it’s pretty interesting…

I share your interest in learning about history from the perspective of other countries. I was in Quebec City and the guide who was showing us around town was all about telling us about the American Revolution–and it sounded a LOT different than the history I’d learned in school in the US! My husband and I remarked on it after the tour. It was definitely an education!

I would have never thought Canada’s military history was that interesting. It looks like a great stop and the mural is gorgeous!

I didn’t know this museum even existed. They seem do a great job of education while keeping people engaged and interested.
