COVID-19 UPDATE - MUSEUM OPERATIONS

Based on current restrictions set by the Province of Alberta and the City of Edmonton.

Effective 20 October 2021

Our office and galleries are again open to the public.  However, for the protection of our staff, volunteers, and visitors, public visits to our office and galleries are subject to the restrictions as set out under the Restrictions Exemption Program which requires that visitors aged 12 and older provide valid:

* proof of vaccination, or
* proof of a privately-paid negative rapid test result taken within 72 hours of visit, or
* documentation of a medical exemption

Details of what constitutes the above can be found at https://www.alberta.ca/covid-19-public-health-actions.aspx.

Visitors aged 18 and over must also be prepared to show valid personal identification that matches the vaccine record.  Masks are still mandatory.

Other Restrictions

Given the size of our office area and galleries, we must also limit the number of visitors we can handle at one time, especially as it applies to larger groups. To avoid possible conflict with other visitors, we ask that you contact us in advance to make an appointment.  Drop-in visitors will be accommodated only if safe distancing guidelines can be maintained.

Contact Options

Contact us by phone (780-421-9943) during office hours or by email (lermus1@telus.net) to make an appointment or for other inquiries.

Note that while we are normally open Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 4:00, our ability to welcome the public during these periods depends on the availability of our part-time staff and volunteers.  Due to the current COVID situation and the personal choices of our staff and volunteers, we are not in a position to maintain our previous level of operation and cannot guarantee that someone will always be available to welcome visitors.  Contacting us in advance of your visit will avoid disappointment.
