Inside the famous Fairmont Hotel, known as \u201cthe Castle of the Rockies,\u201d guests can stroll through the exclusive collection which rotates regularly, and witness gorgeous art, many created by Canadian artists like Dalyn Berryman, an artist who works with natural materials. Dalyn seeks to honor the forests, especially those affected by logging practices, through her haunting driftwood sculptures. Many pieces feature the natural beauty of the Banff National Park and its vast wilderness. Should you find a piece that speaks to you, all pieces are available for purchase.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Historic Luxton Home Museum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Location: 206 Beaver St, Banff, AB T1L 1B4, Canada<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Opening Hours:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entrance Fee: Donation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exhibits: Visitors to the Luxton Museum will enjoy a stroll through the manicured gardens outside and marvel at the extensive collection of First Nations artifacts, period furniture and china, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cwf7fh9vf9Q\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

As such, a portion of the proceeds from every photograph sold goes to the All in the Wild Mand Fund. This fund is employed to protect the beautiful natural lands that so many visitors come to enjoy on their visits to Banff. Bantle hopes his art will help share the company\u2019s motto to respect nature and share its beauty,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Banff Public Art<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Banff National Park has many stellar galleries and museums to help you appreciate the life and culture of the Canadian Rockies. However, in Banff itself, you don\u2019t even need a museum. The art is right out in the open!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banff boasts several public art installations in various locations throughout the townsite. Banff prides itself on its Public Art Project, which commissions a selected artist to create a piece for public display. This year\u2019s chosen artist is Tiffany Shaw.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banff Community Art Committee believes that art interacts with its environs to enhance the space, provide an outlet for new ideas and concepts, as well as strengthen the sense of community and identity. Spend a day strolling through town and take in the great \u201cart-doors\u201d. You can find installations at the following locations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Mistahiya<\/em>, Stewart Steinhauer (2000), Whyte Museum Exterior<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Sleeping Buffalo<\/em>, Stewart Steinhauer (2000), Banff Central Park<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Thunderbird<\/em>, Stewart Steinhauer (2000), Bear Street and Lynx Intersection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Four Ravens<\/em>, Eric Robertson (2005), Banff World Heritage Square<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Mountain Camp<\/em>, Susan Detwiler (2008), Elk Street and Banff Avenue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>When I Close My Eyes<\/em>, Sheila Kernan (2013), Bear Street Mall Wall<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>River Ribbon<\/em>, Alexander Caldwell (2017), Bow River Trail&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Banff and its surrounding areas offer a treasure trove of museums that provide a deeper understanding of the region&#8217;s history, art, and indigenous culture.
