You and a guest are invited to be the first to experience the Royal Alberta Museum’s new feature exhibition.
Death: Life's Greatest Mystery invites you to consider your own "big questions" about death as you explore natural and cultural responses to life's inevitable conclusion. Through artifacts, specimens, interactives, and immersive media experiences, you'll discover amazing animal adaptations used for survival and learn how various cultures commemorate life.
Throughout the evening you'll enjoy light refreshments, hear brief remarks, catch a cultural performance by the Mexican Society of Edmonton, take part in hands-on activities, and of course, experience this thought-provoking exhibition.
Please RSVP below by February 18.
This exhibition was organized by the Field Museum with major support provided by Lilly Endowment, Inc. and additional support from Alicia and Peter Pond.
