I have visited the Luxton Museum twice on two separate occasions that I travelled to Banff on a tour with TitanHiTours. I enjoyed every minute of it, especially as I am interested in the First Nations. I also bought Christmas cards etc from the shop there.I would recommend anyone to visit. more

Although not on the main Banff strip, it's not too far away and definitely a worthwhile stop for anyone who has interest in native culture. Displays of animals, crafts, and mock-ups of various traditional native activities (sun dance scene, drying meat scene, etc.) are very well done. Also has nice gift shop. more
