Dalcon Visual Arts is a comfortable sized gallery that has something for everyone. And if it's not here, we can try to get it for you. We boast the fact that 99% of our art is local/Alberta made, and we are very proud of that fact. However, not just a gallery, we also print on paper, canvas & metal. Custom sizes available. Need frames, glass, dry mounting? We do all that as well. Call or email.

Being new to Alberta, I was recommended to visit this museum by someone that I met. I was very surprised by the world class level of the displays. Excellent museum; the displays and and quality of the autos and otherwise were outstanding. Very interesting, however the Airplane building was somewhat less interesting. I did a lot of reading there on the history of the air pioneers and the display aircraft were interesting, just less so from the main building. Definitely not a complaint, just a note. I am a senior and will make a comment there could be some more seating through the main building. It is a bit of a struggle when a person is not as fit and seating would help. To sum up, well worth going to and I think a visitor will be surprised at the interesting displays and rare exlhibits.
