The Stuff of Legend: The Luxton Family in Banff and the Bow Valley, featuring High Fashion in the Rockies

Celebrate the Luxtons – one of Banff’s most well-known and influential families. This exhibition is a tribute to the spirit, vision, commitment, and creative energy of one of the early pioneer families in Banff and ...the Bow Valley. It showcases many wonderful artifacts and photographs of the Luxton family, as well as several video vignettes produced by The Banff Centre which incorporate the recollections of Stoney elders and others who remember the Luxtons.

High Fashion in the Rockies – A new story has been added focusing on a surprising collection of gorgeous dresses belonging to Georgina and Eleanor – the Luxton ladies. Rediscovered in the Eleanor Luxton Historical Foundation collection were dozens of beautiful dresses from 1910 through the 1960s. A small percentage of this extraordinary assortment of apparel along with accessories including gloves, purses, smoking paraphernalia and lingerie, is now in the Heritage Gallery as part of The Stuff of Legend: The Luxton Family in Banff and the Bow Valley.Read More

Every four years, the best athletes in the world match skill and endurance in the Olympic Winter Games. The purposes of these games are to foster the ideal of a “sound mind in a sound body” and to promote friendship among nations. Olympic athletes are the greatest ambassadors of goodwill in the world of sports. For dec...ades, the Bow Valley has been home to, and a training ground for, hundreds of people who have excelled at their sport and been chosen to represent Canada at the Olympic Winter Games. The athletes chosen to participate in this exhibition are only a small selection of athletes from the Bow Valley that have represented Canada. On the eve of the upcoming games in Vancouver, B.C. in February 2010, this exhibition is a tribute to all those who are the best athletes in the world.Read More

Winter is a way of life in the Canadian Rockies, where we can usually rely on seeing at least some snow for 10 months of the year. Because it is so omnipresent, people who live in the mountains celebrate winter. This exhibition is part of that celebration, featuring 14 new watercolour works by Takao Tanabe which captur...e the feel of winter in the Canadian Rockies. As a response to this selection, we have also included watercolour paintings and prints by other artists from the Whyte Museum’s collection, who also celebrate winter in their work. The exhibition presents a compilation of unique Christmas cards, including original artworks by Peter Whyte.Read More
