EDMONTON — Alberta’s new provincial museum in downtown Edmonton is officially open. Premier Rachel Notley unveiled a life-sized statue of the Royal Alberta Museum’s signature Ice Age mammoth in the main rotunda Wednesday. Notley acknowledged former premier Ed Stelmach, who was responsible for getting the museum project started in 2011. “Indigenous cultures and perspectives are prominent throughout the museum, as they rightly should be,” Notley told the crowd that included Stelmach. “A portion of our history and our story will be told by the pieces of the past that make up the Indigenous section of this museum.”
