Definitely worth the price of admission

Published on Nov, 2024

This was super interesting and informative. I love the various exhibits and learned so much about Canadian music history. I really enjoyed the rooms with the instruments to play.

A must visit for the music lover.

The museum has a nice selection of information about Canadian music history, as well as a large collection of instruments and vintage equipment. The best part (in my opinion) was the live band (Rock the Nation) that played snippets of songs from impactful Canadian artists, which made the visit fun and enjoyable. Well worth the visit and ticket price!

Violins of Hope

Published on May, 2024

The Violins of Hope exhibit is a must see. This beautifully curated gathering is both inspiring and horrific. We were lucky to have the curator speak to us and the stories of putting on this exhibit and the discovery of new information that will be added to this travelling show is fascinating as well as a true labour of love. My heart is full and I love the testimony to survival and the power of music that this display embodies.

Canadian Music Hall of Fame

Published on Apr, 2024

Seeing and being reminded about all the amazing musical talent Canada has provided. The exhibits were well laid out and very informative. Would highly recommend if you are in Calgary.

A great way to spend a few hours

Published on Sep, 2023

While I am a huge music buff, I know next to nothing about Canadian music so I wasn't sure what to expect when I decided to visit. But I am so glad I did. I spent well over 3 hours exploring this museum (and found out I actually do know a lot of Canadian music artists- i just never realized they were Canadian lol). Lots to see, do and learn. Highly recommend if you're in Calgary!
