Noted for its smooth, undulating lines that mimic both the North Saskatchewan River and the Northern Lights, gorgeous open concept windows and its extraordinary stainless steel curtain wall, the Art Gallery of Alberta has won numerous architectural awards for innovation in design."

Climb aboard historic cars, cabooses, and engines at the outdoor exhibit, taking in all of the history and heritage of Alberta’s trains and railways."
