Explore the oldest natural history museum in
western Canada. Get face-to-face with Rocky Mountain wildlife! Located
in the heart of downtown Banff, the Banff Park Museum houses more than
5,000 vintage botanical and zoological specimens — from bears and
bighorns, to birds and bees. The Banff Park Museum shows us how natural
history was understood in Canada near the end of the Victorian era.
Built in 1903, it is the oldest surviving federal building in any
Canadian national park.
