How have I not reviewed this yet? Because every time I'm on the U of C campus, I make a point to drop by. I was worried when they tore down the old museum that the new one wouldn't be any good, but not only is the space great, I feel like doubled their efforts to have a really excellent gallery with really great displays. And there's always a staff member at the door who's happy to tell you about what's on and what's coming up and tell you why it's important and special. If you're in Calgary and you haven't checked out the Nickle Museum, you absolutely have to.

Nickle Galleries is a nice, quiet place to enjoy if you're interested in art! The Nickle Galleries is inside Calgary University. I work with individuals with mental & physical disabilities, and our center decided to take a mini field trip to the Nickle Galleries & every client enjoyed the art that was created by students in the gallery. It was a very quiet space & the lights were dimmed downstairs so everyone could feel the art, the lady who presented every piece of art mentioned to us all that the lady who created the art downstairs was an aboriginal individual who wanted to make her viewers feel her art & experience the peace with her art pieces (from my understanding). It was a nice time & we captured some beautiful fotos.

When I visited, there were few exhibitions and the upper part was closed. But I had a good time and enjoy a lot the exhibitions. The staff was also nice. I made online booking before coming.

My first visit of the Nickel Galleries was 2019 for MFA student exhibition, and recently I had an exhibition there. This gallery is among the best, and the staffs are friendly, helpful and real professional.

We visited the Nickle Galleries in July 2019. I wanted to see the Numismatics collection there. The location was a bit difficult to find, but it was quite an impressive exhibit once we did. The bottom floor is dedicated to artwork, which was interesting to view. The top floor was at least in part dedicated to numismatics. The coins were beautifully displayed and I could have easily spent many hours just in that section. There are lockers downstairs for use to store your items. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit there and will return.
