The doors to Calgary’s Glenbow Museum were closed on March 13, due to COVID-19 concerns — but that doesn’t mean the public can’t access the artwork inside the building.
Glenbow Museum launched its first “Glenbow from Home” exhibit on Wednesday. The website allows audiences to go online and virtually view exhibits inside the museum. “We still want to create opportunities for you to experience art outside of Glenbow’s walls,” museum officials said in an online statement on Tuesday. “We know art can provide inspiration, beauty and, most importantly, a sense of connection to the people and world around us.” The museum plans to host three online sessions a week as part of the new Glenbow from Home initiative.
