For more than 25 years, the Friends of Royal Alberta Museum Society has worked along side of the Royal Alberta Museum to provide funding for many of the programs and services that make Alberta’s provincial museum one of the most popular museums in Canada.

Revenue generated by the Friends of Royal Alberta Museum Society is committed to cultural and natural history preservation, educational programs, learning and enrichment opportunities for schools, research and facility enhancements at the Royal Alberta Museum.

Below are some of the exciting projects we are involved in. With your support, we can make them grow!

SUMMER CAMP

Initiated in the summer of 2008 and continued in 2009, the Society has sponsored the first summer camps ever at the Royal Alberta Museum!  Campers express themselves through writing and creative arts throughout the week, meet curators, and see behind the scenes and engage in fun activities. Besides offering an educational experience, each camp is designed to inspire an interest in Alberta studies and issues. For a complete list of program descriptions, visit www.royalalbertamuseum.ca

MUSEUM SCHOOL
In 2007, the Friends of Royal Alberta Museum Society celebrated its 25th anniversary by making a significant contribution to the Museum School. Sponsorship continued through the spring of 2009. This innovative program offers teachers the opportunity to move their classroom to the Royal Alberta Museum for a full week of entertaining, hands-on learning through exhibits, galleries and amazing behind-the-scenes tours.

GO TO THE MUSEUM FOR FREE!
Initiated in April 2004, the GO! Program provides a complimentary day pass to Alberta families and individuals who, because of financial constraints, are not normally able to visit the Royal Alberta Museum. The Society works with social service agencies to distribute the admission passes. Your contributions help us share the Royal Alberta Museum with as many Albertans as possible!

ESSENTIAL SUPPORT TO THE MUSEUM

The Friends of the Royal Alberta Museum Society provides integral support of human resources at the Museum, including staff contracted by the Society and collaboration with federal and provincial agencies to provide students the opportunity to work at the Museum and gain valuable experience.

WILD ALBERTA
The Friends Society sponsored the development and creation of the Pelican Diorama within the Wild Alberta Gallery. This beautiful and dynamic diorama is seen by thousands of visitors every month. The Gallery’s interactive and thought-provoking displays and dioramas showcase Alberta's changing environment and impact we place on our natural world. With your help, we can continue to make the Royal Alberta Museum a world class institution!
