 One
of Calgary's best kept secrets! The Grain Academy and museum is an
interactive celebration of the grain industry in Western Canada. The
Academy first opened its doors over 20 years ago. More than 30,000
guests tour the Academy annually including up to 5,000 school children,
6,000 domestic and international visitors, and nearly 20,000 Stampede
guests each summer.
The Grain Academy Museum is fortunate to be located in Stampede Park,
home of the world-renowned Calgary Stampede. It is an interpretive
centre and proud ambassador for the grain industry in Western Canada, with
hundreds of artifacts woven into ten hands-on experimental exhibit areas
that make up the story of the grain industry. The "story
tellers", our curators, have many many years of grain production and
industry experience.
Guests of the Grain Academy Museum are invited to embrace the evolution
of the grain trade through working models, historic photos, artifacts,
videos and more. The quality of the presentation is first class - in
keeping with the highest standards set by the Calgary Stampede in all its
initiatives and partnerships. Each year more than 30,000 people tour
the facilities that occupy nearly 500 square metres in the Roundup Centre.
