Designed as a joint use facility, the Canmore Museum and Geo-Science Centre shares conference rooms, classrooms, and office/staff facilities with the Civic Centre, including integrated exhibitions in the ‘interior street’, exterior public plaza and public lobby. Innovative and creative display design solutions for permanent exhibitions and displays are integrated with the architectural design.
