I searched for a thread but looks like there's never been one here, apart from the odd news story.

They're undergoing renovations and so a number of long running exhibitions are shutting down (to be possibly re-exhibited in the future in a different format, or possibly never again I guess) Thought I'd give everyone a heads up (since I just stumbled across it myself) that they'll be holding a free week from Nov 14-22 - https://www.glenbow.org/exhibitions/all-access-week/

The one I'll miss the most is the Treasures of the Mineral World which has been running since 1976! Love going up there and seeing the weird rock formations.

The West African exhibition and the warfare one (both open since 1994) are going too, but I never really loved those. Good for a browse here and there.
Also going away are the two Indigenous ones and the Mavericks exhibition.

My favourite exhibition (The Art of Asia) unfortunately already disappeared a number of years ago. I'm hoping any new exhibits next year can reincorporate some of that stuff and maybe some pre-20th Century European art. That would be really cool.
