I have always liked the Glenbow, but only for its temporary exhibitions. The permanent displays have not changed in recent memory and have become quite stale and run-down.
I wish the city would invest more into this undervalued museum. The Glenbow has the potential to be a great museum, it is fairly large, the location is central, but ultimately a revamp is needed.
That being said, if given the chance I would recommend to anyone to visit the archives with a guide, I did it at the age of 12 or so and would happily do it again.
