New Royal Alberta Museum will open Oct. 3 with six free days of entry

The new Royal Alberta Museum will open October 3, with six free day of entry.
Ricardo Miranda, Minister of Culture and Tourism, unveiled the much-anticipated opening date Wednesday morning.
External construction on the museum was completed two years ago but it stayed closed as collections were moved to the new location. The $375.5-million facility is expected to open this fall.
The new museum measures nearly 38,000 gross square metres and is advertised as the largest in Western Canada.
