Barr Colony Heritage Cultural Centre

002
    This museum has four galleries with some unusual collections. One gallery houses a large taxidermy exhibit, the work of Nicholas Fuchs. Most of the animals are very unrealistic probably because the collection is so old. Another gallery has over 250 paintings by Count Berthold von Imhoff ,a large mural painter who mainly worked in churches. The heavy oil gallery is sponsored by Husky Oil so it comes with a large dose of company hype. The forth gallery is a tiny area with historic artifacts from the area.

  The museum is all accessible.

  The parking lot is shared with the visitor center and is large enough for all RVs. Museum
