Have you ever wished you could use the Royal Alberta Museum’s collections for sketching inspiration? Now’s your chance! We'll be showcasing rarely seen museum objects to create a still-life setup for you to practice your drawing skills.  

This month RAM is bringing out a load of your favourite little critters with beady eyes - squirrels! They will be displayed on special spinning platforms, so you’ll be able to get just the right angle to draw these small-but-majestic specimens.  

This free-with-admission activity will be back on the third Thursday of April.

Join the Royal Alberta Museum for a PechaKucha-style lecture featuring three different speakers, a fast-paced presentation, and a quick round of Q&A from the audience.

This event will feature presentations in both English and French.

Rejoignez-nous au Musée Royal de l’Alberta pour une conférence de type PechaKucha avec trois intervenants différents, des présentations dynamiques et une séance de questions-réponses rapide avec le public.

Cet événement comprendra des présentations en anglais et en français.
