A visit to the Grant Berg Gallery is always lovely. The space is welcoming and restful while still filled with the work of unbelievably talented Canadian artists. Grant and his staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and delighted to discuss both the art and the artists (of which Grant is one) represented in the gallery. I bring guests to Grant’s gallery as a must-see experience in Grande Prairie.

Set in picturesque Muskoseepi Park, the Grande Prairie Museum, opened in 1971 with a focus on preserving the pioneer history of the area. The Museum’s galleries highlight the first homesteaders and those who contributed to the development of the Peace Region. Visitors will also find a replica paleontological dig site featuring locally found bones of an Edmontosaurus. Other gallery exhibits include Prehistoric stone artifacts used by the first Aboriginal people to settle this area, transportation artifacts including a replica train station and military and war displays. The Grande Prairie Museum consists of the Rodacker/Campbell Gallery located in the main museum building, which is home to our temporary and permanent exhibits, as well as an outdoor Heritage Village.

We chose this site to visit on a very windy day. We were pleasantly surprised to see a museum with free entry. We took part in the scavenger hunt to locate specific items, which was great fun. We were surprised to see the variety of items at this little Museum... There was something of Interest for everyone in our party. Everyone had a good time... We spent about three hours here. Unfortunately the outside portion of the museum doesn't open up until mid May call Matt so we were unable to view it. We found this was a Hidden Gem in Grande Prairie... Our family who live there had never seen it... It was us who took our family there, they just told us how to get there. Staff were upbeat and friendly. We also went to the museum at the information center oh, sorry I do not know the name. We were disappointed that we only had half an hour to view the items before closing. They have a nice display of Aboriginal items, as well as displays of natural wildlife, and touch-and-feel panels of their different furs for the children... As well as the older children... LOL. Both of these museums are well worth seeing, and both are free entrance
