This place was clean, nice, inexpensive, and informative. It was not large. It had a nice gift shop, was right down town, and was very close to parking. Overall, a good hour of entertainment and education.

Our family really enjoyed learning about the area and the rich history of the mountaineering and legends who had traveled through.

Went to see the story and photographic display of an old explorer and were amazed by it. Well set out in large room. Local guide was informative .Washrooms clean .

We ended up in Banff on a rainy day and thought we would drop in to the Whyte Museum for something to do. It's payment by donation, open until 5pm. The exhibitions aren't all permanent and I loved the two photography exhibits that were on. Very informative, full of local history, and plenty of beautiful photographs.

i agree with other reviewers, if you have an hour, or so spare, this is an interesting museum to visit. Whilst I was there it had two displays - a local artist and Banff and surrounds commitment to WW1, as well as information about how Banff was established. I took quite a while reading all the information that was provided. There is also a gift shop with a good selection of written material, not only about Banff, but Canada as well.

some good paintings by Peter and Catharine Whyte and others. Interesting and insightful exhibits on the history of the park and of the town

This is not a big museum but has some great history. Good old pictures. It is free - but you are sort of expected to pay a $5.00 per person donation. Worth it if you are curious and have an hour.

Sorry to hear that the Whyte Museum's variety of exhibitions did not pique your interest. Certainly the natural beauty of Banff National Park is tough competition, especially today with a fresh blanket of snow on the mountains.Happy travels.
