*** Please note the following when considering signing up for the Royal Alberta Museum “behind-the scenes” tours. Access to the numismatics vault requires passage through a room containing sacred objects belonging to several North American First Nations. First Nations spiritual beliefs and practices stipulate that women menstruating (in their monthly period) are not to come into contact or proximity of these objects. The Museum requests that visitors abide by this practice. Please take this into consideration when deciding to join the Royal Alberta Museum Tour. Viewing of the vault will last no more than five minutes. Additional numismatics items will be on display in an adjacent room.
We look forward to seeing you at the 2009 C.N.A. Convention!
