From the Calgary World / Places

Contemporary Calgary

Choose Contemporary Calgary to see changing modern art exhibitions in the former Centennial Planetarium, where the building adds a second layer to the gallery visit.

Contemporary Calgary

Why go

Go for current art in a setting with its own civic history. The exhibitions change, so the works you see depend on the programme, but the former planetarium gives the visit a distinctive architectural frame. Allow enough time to move through the galleries and notice how the building shapes the experience rather than expecting one permanent collection.

What to look for

  • Changing contemporary art exhibitions.
  • Former Centennial Planetarium building.

Useful to know

  • Check the official site for current admission and hours.
  • Allow about 75 minutes for a normal visit.
