Construction finished on new Royal Alberta Museum downtown, expected to open late 2017
Construction on the new Royal Alberta Museum in downtown Edmonton has finished and now begins the task of moving more than two million objects from the old museum.

The $375.5-million museum is expected to open in late 2017.

“Now, we can get to work inside, outfitting the museum’s exhibits,” Infrastructure and Transportation Minister Brian Mason said Tuesday.

Politicians and reporters were given a brief tour of the building, which is expansive, sunny and empty. Some areas are still taped off and construction equipment remains in one room. The exhibits will be moved over the next year-and-a-half, Mason said.

Journalists toured the inside of the new downtown museum Tuesday, which is now mostly complete with high ceilings, limestone walls, granite flooring and climate-controlled galleries.
