The work that happens in museums goes beyond our galleries. With a collection of over 5million objects and specimens, conserving, cataloging and researching them all in our collection is literally a full-time job.
Meet Curators, conservators and Exhibit staff and other RAM experts and learn about the research, care and planning that goes on to make the museum what it is.
Have you ever wished you could use the 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.
Orcas can be found throughout all oceans in the world, but their behavior changes based on where they live. Much like diverse human cultures, each orca population has a unique way of feeding, diet, and migration.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Alberta’s foothills and expansive mountain views, the 2025 Harvest Supper Fundraiser invites guests to experience an evening of rustic elegance, heartfelt connection, and meaningful support for the arts. Hosted by the Leighton Art Centre, this annual event brings together community members to celebrate the intersection of creativity, culture, and nature in southern Alberta. This event takes place on Saturday, September 13, 2025, from 4:30 pm to sunset.

Ana Zanella is a painter and mixed media artist living in Calgary who is interested in
