Day 29: Royal Alberta Museum

Visited the Royal Alberta Museum in Edmondton. The Museum is divided into the Human history, Nature, Bugs and a special exhibition section which changes but this time focused on death.

I spent 3hrs going through the different sections. The Human history section focused on Canada, the 1st Nation indigenes and the settlers and showcased their way of life. From stone tools used by the 1st Nation, to early settlers equipment up to the 60s.

That Natural history hall focused on prehistoric animals found in Canada with lots of excavated skeletons on display.

Bugs section was quite small and was mainly on the various insects from across the world.

The special exhibit on death talked about how nature uses death to give life and recycle nutrients. The most morbid part was on how Japanese monks studied and documented the stages of decomposition of the human body.

In all it was 3hrs well spentRead more
