Whether it’s tickets to a Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra performance, or a membership to the Glenbow Museum, giving an opportunity to learn and support Calgary’s arts and culture is a double win. Here are a few options you might want to consider for your family and friends. If you’re lucky, they might take you with them!

At the Glenbow Museum, you will find a combination of museum, art gallery, library and archives all under one roof.  Whether you’re looking to gift an individual, or an entire family, there are a number of great membership options.  Their “Museum Explorer” membership also includes reciprocal membership benefits at over 650 selected museums in North America.  For more details check here.
