Royal Tyrrell Museum - Alberta

Royal Tyrrell Museum - Alberta


The Royal Tyrrell Museum is in the heart of the badlands, 6 km (4 mi) northwest of Drumheller, Alberta, in Midland Provincial Park.

Explore the province of Alberta as it was 70 million years ago. The Cretaceous Alberta gallery was inspired by the dig Tyrrell palaeontologists conducted at Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial Park where over 22 albertosaurs were excavated from one of the richest theropod bonebeds on record.

Dinosaur Hall

Here's where you'll see 40 mounted dinosaur skeletons (including a tyrannosaurus rex!) and over 120,000 fossil specimens. Dinosaur Hall is also where you'll see Albertosaurus, the dinosaur first discovered by Joseph B. Tyrrell (the museum's namesake). As you can imagine, Dinosaur Hall is one of the museum's most popular exhibits.
