Here at the MAG, we are passionate about art and history. We are committed to creating memorable experiences for our visitors in order to help them understand the people, history and culture of Central Alberta. We want to engage families in learning together about our community – and the rest of the world. Our aim is to reflect the beauty, the complexity and the rich diversity of Red Deer and the surrounding area.
We have a rich and varied collection, supported by fascinating research. We now have the opportunity to tell the stories of the artifacts in the collection in creative ways that will involve visitors of all ages in a journey of discovery. From time to time, we will bring exhibitions from other museums to Red Deer in order to share our delight and curiosity about the art, culture and history of the rest of the world.
I would like to invite you to visit your museum and tell us what you think. What stories do you think we should tell? What kind of artifacts would you most like to see? What kinds of activities would be fun for the entire family? What things would generate conversations between the generations? What ideas could we present that will change the way we live in our community?
