Stanley visits the Royal Alberta Museum, Edmonton, Alberta.

The museum was renamed to remember the visit of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to Alberta. There is free parking at the museum.  A new, bigger museum is going to be built downtown.

 

Mammoths used to live in Alberta many years ago.  There are mammoth bones at this museum!

This stuffed bison startled me when we came in the door.  There used to be huge herds of bison in Alberta. A museum display shows how the native tribes used to hunt them for food and other needs.

School groups come to the Royal Alberta Museum for special sessions. They can bring their own lunch and eat in a room set aside for them. 

Stanley found this picture made by a student from British Columbia!  Isn't it great?  There are raccoons in parts of Alberta.
