The Royal Alberta Museum in Canada is dedicated to natural history and human life. It is located in Edmonton Centre.

The museum with a half-century history has recently received a new address in a modern building. Today it is a large-scale museum in Western Canada, the largest in this part of the country: the exhibition area is more than 82 thousand square feet, the total area is 419 thousand square feet.

The museum houses numerous exhibitions about the nature and culture of the province of Alberta, and ethnographic collections. The museum also features cutting-edge exhibitions from both Canada and around the world. Besides, there is an interactive children's gallery with an area of 7 thousand square feet.

The Canadian government and the province of Alberta began planning the Museum in 1950. In 1962, Raymond O. Harrison, an architect from Australia, was invited to help create the Vancouver Maritime Museum. Harrison was allocated $5 million to develop the museum's design and create sites for the collections.

The museum halls opened to the public in December 1967. Then on the main floor, there were exhibitions about the fur trade, about the indigenous ethnic groups of Alberta, and photos of aborigines. Displays on the second floor were devoted to local agriculture, the life of the first settlers, industrial and commercial development. In the 1970s, the number of exhibitions increased as did the number of accompanying programs and employees. Also, the theme of the collection and the content of exhibitions have expanded over the years.

RAM was originally located in the Glenora neighborhood. A special Centennial Alberta exhibit was organized for the 100th anniversary of the province of Alberta in 2005. On May 24 of the same year, the British Queen Elizabeth II became an honorary visitor to the museum.

In December 2015, the museum was closed, preparing for moving to a new building. Its construction was completed in August 2016. So the Alberta Museum has been welcoming visitors from October 2018 to a completely new space, with updated exhibitions and modern presentation technologies.
