Galt Museum & Archives




In our quest to learn more about the local area we decided to visit the Galt Museum in Lethbridge. We found out about the human history of Southwestern Alberta. The museum is very similar to Te Papa at home only on a much smaller scale. There was also a special exhibit - The Eva Brewster Story. A shocking chronological history of a Canadian Auschwitz survivor, displayed as photographic storyboards.


The museum overlooks the coulees and has spectacular views of the High Level Bridge and Oldman River valley.



If you enlarge the photo you can just see the Lethbridge University built into the side of the hill.
