Take a walk through any natural history museum and you’ll likely find yourself marveling at a wide diversity of specimens, from bugs to birds to reptiles and beyond.

Ever wondered how museum professionals prep and care for these specimens?

Join the Royal Alberta Museum for an Insect Pinning workshop and try your hand at prepping and pinning an insect specimen!

Learn first-hand from museum professionals about how and why natural collections prep and preserve animals for display and research.

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.  

Join us for an evening with researcher Joshua McInnes from The UBC Marine Mammal Research Institute to learn about the feeding behaviors, diet, and ecology of Transient (Biggs) Orcas and Risso‘s Dolphins often found off the coast of B.C.

Your ticket includes admission to the RAM galleries, including Orcas: Our Shared Future.
