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

This month, let’s focus our attention on the little guys – bugs! They will have many-legged critters from Alberta and all over the world for you to sketch. You can even use one of their microscopes to really appreciate all the little details of their anatomy. 

Looking for a new mid-week activity to shake up date night, girls' night, or your solo evening routine? Come to the Royal Alberta Museum for Retro Craft Night – craft time for adults with a historical twist.  

On September 3, time-travel back to the 1990s and revisit the crafts of your youth, like making friendship bracelets and beaded lizard keychains. Or bring your jean jacket to add some dazzle.  

Retro Craft Night is your chance to slow down, get nostalgic, and make things with your hands. All instructions and materials are included in admission.
