History buffs and art lovers will be able to enjoy Calgary's Glenbow Museum for free, thanks to a $25 million endowment from the Shaw Family Foundation.

According to the museum, the announcement means when it reopens, the Glenbow will become one of the first major Canadian museums to offer free general admission.

The museum is closed for a multi-million dollar revitalization aimed at transforming and modernizing the building.

The building that houses the Glenbow will be named the JR Shaw Centre for Arts and Culture, a news release said.

In addition to the endowment, the Shaw family will be donating an extra $10 million to create the JR Shaw Institute for Canadian Art.
