Glenbow at The Edison

Glenbow is closed for renovation to become the JR Shaw Centre for Arts & Culture. During our renovation, we will be hosting exhibitions out of our satellite gallery, Glenbow at The Edison, located on the 2nd floor, 150 9 Avenue SW.

Glenbow at The Edison is currently closed.
Stay tuned for our next exhibition opening in January 2023.

Glenbow is a museum that believes art is for everyone.
We’re reimagining the museum to ensure that the Glenbow experience is accessible to and welcoming for people of all abilities, ages, backgrounds and life experiences.
