History of Art Gallery of Alberta 

The Art Gallery of Alberta was established in 1924 as the Edmonton Museum of Arts to promote fine arts and preserve historical relics from the region. The museum occupied various sites before settling into the former home of Richard Secord in 1952 and changing its name to the Edmonton Art Gallery in 1956. In 1969, a purpose-built facility for the art museum was opened and named the "Arthur Blow Condell Memorial Building." Renovations and expansion of the building were proposed in 1998, with construction beginning in June 2007. The museum reopened in January 2010 after being closed in March 2007. In 2017, the museum started offering free admission for minors and post-secondary students. If you want to know more about TELUS World of Science, read it here.
