The best art gallery in the province! Don’t be deceived by the old and forgotten look of the building exterior. This museum was amazing and hopefully will get more funds and sponsorships. We paid 10-12/day on a Sunday afternoon. It was quiet and not too many people. There were plenty of thought-provoking exhibits inside and we’re so lucky enough to witness Luke Jerram’s ‘Museum of the Moon’ exhibit. Defined coming back later this year for Yoko Ono’s exhibit!

The installations were well done, really enjoyed Yoko Ono ! Well put together and informative. Omar Ba is an amazing artist, his works tell a story. As well the gallery has an excellent infection control system, well done!!

Very impressive! I was very pleased and so does my friend. We walked in as what we planned for but everything in the museum did give us a great shock. Especially the moon exhibition! They also have introduction for every single art work, so it allows me to understand more instead of see and go. I was also interested in the theme they got at the museum. They support local artist, so does emerging artists who are still younger ones! I was so impressive by a paint on ceiling which painted by an Autism kid. They definitely made this little artist so proud of him/herself! Good work, contemporary museum. I am looking forward to see more exhibition in the future!

European style building, with a stunning brutalist architecture and attractive exhibitions. I am excited for the gallery's future developments and upgrades. It is a much needed addition to Alberta's and Calagry's art scene.

Love that the gallery is FREE! However! There is lots of work to do to utilize the whole space. It feels under utilized and somewhat empty. Start showing movies in that beautiful dome theatre, PLEASE!

For people who haven't been here in 2020, this is a completely different place from even a few months ago. It is a fully-fledged contemporary art gallery and the majority of the space is now home to exhibits with a year of new exhibits already scheduled. The space is great and very unique, if you can go before March 15, the Museum of the Moon exhibit is spectacular. There is an admission cost now, but it is cheap and membership is also very inexpensive. If you like contemporary art, you should check it out.
