Canmore Museum

Ongoing Land of Thundering Snow was developed by the Revelstoke Museum with Avalanche Canada and explores the history of avalanche awareness, safety and rescue in the Canadian Rockies. This exhibit also features objects from the Canmore Museum’s own collection, snow science activities and a display about the Canadian Avalanche Rescue Dog Association (CARDA) and the work they do. Survival in Paradise shares the evolution of mining in the Bow Valley, and the communities that grew up around it. Experience the labyrinth of underground mines beneath the Town of Canmore with the aid of virtual reality, and immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the No. 2 mine as it would have been.
