A permanent displace space has been set up in the main floor hallway of Lethbridge’s Galt Museum, which highlights some of the more than 17,000 Indigenous artifacts the museum possesses.

Billed as “From the Collection”, each object on display has a Blackfoot story, from the people, settlers and newcomers in the region.

The museum has said however, due to the number of items, the artifacts on display will be rotated every six months, giving the area a refreshed look.
