Jasper-Yellowhead Museum


The Jasper-Yellowhead Museum and Archives is a historical museum located in Jasper National Park, Alberta.

History

The Jasper-Yellowhead Historical Society began working towards the development of a museum in 1978, and in 1985 a partially completed building was purchased for the project.

Exhibits

Wildlife display

After the 2024 Jasper wildfires the museum displayed over 100 taxidermy wildlife specimens across the museum. The specimens were previously acquired several years ago from the Wildlife Museum, which was previously located in the basement of Whistlers Inn. An Adopt-An-Animal campaign was also launched to help support the museum and archives after the wildlife. "Adopting" a specimen included naming rights for the specimen, an adoption certificate, a picture of the animal, a free visit per month, and a tax receipt.
